Regarding the first nitpick: I saw eww as the first word and didn't want
to capitalize it.  But I see both versions in the ChangeLog, from me and
others, e.g.

revno: 114875
committer: Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
branch nick: trunk
timestamp: Wed 2013-10-30 15:35:14 -0400
message:
  htmlfontify.el: remove duplicate Version: header

As for punctuation, the commit log is full of messages like this (not
picking on Chong and Glenn in particular):

revno: 115702
committer: Chong Yidong <cyd@gnu.org>
branch nick: trunk
timestamp: Mon 2013-12-23 11:59:10 +0800
message:
  Rename set-temporary-overlay-map -> set-transient-map

...

revno: 115699
committer: Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
branch nick: trunk
timestamp: Sun 2013-12-22 15:13:18 -0800
message:
  Misc small fixes for some recent doc changes

...so I didn't think punctuation was required in the commit message
itself.  Could the VC commit message mode add highlighting to show these
problems?

Ted
