I like to start out with a one line summary if possible, subsequently prov=
iding more detail=2E

The first paragraph or two of a phab review could/should be written to sim=
ply cut and paste that into the commit message=2E I try to aim for this=2E

I suppose when a person has been working on some code for a while what app=
ears obvious may not be so obvious to others at first=2E It's an easy trap =
to fall into=2E Something I catch myself at times=2E


--=20
Pardon the typos and autocorrect, small keyboard in use=2E
