Technically, the summary line of the commit being discussed is: preparing for further changes/cleanup to developers/contributors docs Many projects using Git have a convention that the commit summary is an imperative phrase: Prepare for further changes/cleanup to developers/contributors docs This way, commit summaries are useful as a rebase TODO list and they work well with the default merge commit message. Also, the subject line of this discussion should have been: Re: preparing for further changes/cleanup to developers/contributors docs as if the commit were an email sent to a patches list.
