The standard format for commit messages in git is to have the first
paragraph be a one-line summary, and then have next paragraphs (if
any) be an elaboration with links etc. The first line is then the
subject of the email if you send it as a patch, or if you run
'git-shortlog v3.0.0..v3.0.1' you can get a changelog between two
releases with a list of the one-line subjects of all the commits.
I have lobbied enough for my preference, so I'll shut up about it
unless you have any specific usage questions.
