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 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

So when you say "I see both versions in the ChangeLog", your examples are all incorrect, since they do not come from the ChangeLog. > 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 Those are examples of the summary line that starts a commit. I adhere to the convention that these look best if treated like the Subject: header of an email. These traditionally start with a capital and do not end with a full-stop. I feel like I've seen this written down somewhere wrt commit messages, but cannot find it now, so maybe I made that up. The slightly different convention of: module: change in this module which is what Ted used, is followed eg by coreutils. I also think this looks fine.
