There are a few unwritten conventions. You can always check existing commit messages, via $ git log --pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit --no-merges and see that commit title (first line of commit message) is either short sentence starting with upper case, bt without fullstop, or sentence preceded by the subsystem affected, using "<subsystem>:" prefix.
