I've capitalized changelog entries in the message and also added a
reference to the bug number.

Eli told me that you prefer code comments to long commit messages but
in this case I think the rationale would be lost in fragmentary
comments here and there. It's true that there is still the reference
to this discussion in the commit message, but I believe it's
convenient to quickly get a description of the change using git blame
when browsing the code. If you disagree I will remove the notes from
the commit message and copy them here.

Best regards
