The first line of a docstring should be a single sentence.

Double space end of sentence.  No need to mention "I" here, it should be
phrased imperatively, as in "Override the default...", and "Move the point...".

End sentences with a period.

End sentences with a period, no need to mention "I".

I suggest ";; applying hunks too (see http://debbugs.gnu.org/17544).",
referencing the bug with "Bug #17544" instead of a full URL could also
work.
