Nice, as it says in CONTRIBUTE:
- Start with a single unindented summary line explaining the change;
do not end this line with a period. If that line starts with a
semicolon and a space "; ", the commit message will be ignored when
generating the ChangeLog file. Use this for minor commits that do
not need separate ChangeLog entries, such as changes in etc/NEWS.
