+Commit messages |
| 23 |
+--------------- |
| 24 |
+ |
| 25 |
+Commit messages should be in the imperative mood with a capitalised |
| 26 |
+header, optionally followed by a newline and a more detailed explanatory |
| 27 |
+text. The headline should be capped at 50 characters, the detailed text |
| 28 |
+at 72. Prefix the message with the component you touched if this makes |
| 29 |
+sense. Postfix the message with the bug it fixes, if it does. Example: |
| 30 |
+ |
| 31 |
+" |
| 32 |
+emerge: Fix --tree output (bug 555555) |
| 33 |
+ |
| 34 |
+Make sure newlines appear where they are supposed to. Fix a bug with |
| 35 |
+colourisation of --tree output when used in tandem with --verbose |
| 36 |
+--pretend --ask. |
