Not sure where to address this, so starting here. As you might know some "post-CVS" VCS-es use a convention where a first line of commit message serves as a kind of commit subject and the rest is a body that further describes the commit. Could we please start thinking about thinking of possible future support of such tools and start thinking of possibly considering a policy for commit messages that would adhere to the above mentioned convention. I mean, when you look at commit history (of the whole project) and see lines like "MFC 1.33" it is not very convenient, you have to look at the complete commit message to see what it is about really. -- Andriy Gapon
