Sounds like a reasonable question, actually: is it a good commit message? I'm really not sure, but am inclined towards yes.

#4I don't know. The writing is okay, there weren't any spelling mistakes that I noticed, but the use of three words written in only capital letters was somewhat disconcerting. I'd say if the author wants to get it accepted for publication somewhere reasonably mainstream he's going to need someone else working at arm's length who is willing to take the time to go through it and highlight areas for revision and expansion before sending it back to him. The author and this person might need to repeat the process a few times.

thanks for clarifying, I was just about to investigate this issue.

#8It is a joke, but one of the best commit message I've seen lately is from PostgreSQL - for example from Tom Lane - where each bug, or new feature is explained well. I wish I can write such. My commit messages are terrible to my home projects, at least at work I'm following some established rules and it's easier there...

#9At least it's not something entirely useless like "updated", "w00t", "oops", "test", or " ". (And yes, I've come across all of those in the wild.)
