- Use 72 characters or less on each line. Use blank lines to separate paragraphs.
- The first line should be 50 characters or less and summarize why this commit was made. It should be specific enough that someone reading just this line will understand what happened.
- Don't write Fix bug or even Fix bugzilla bug #1234, write Remove silly messages that appear each April 1.
