> The summary line should not end with a period

Both styles are OK, if you ask me.  My mild suggestion would be: if the summary 
line is a sentence, end it with a period; if not, not.  Often, summary lines are 
simple imperative sentences like "Improve CONTRIBUTE and related files." and 
that should be fine.  If the summary is "New macro `define-inline'" it might be 
better to omit the trailing period.  Either way, it's not a big deal.
