My main goal with commit messages, code comments and every other *text* you have in the code is to be as succinct and understandable as possible for time considerations, clarity, etc. If I see a 12-char sha1 followed by a title, to me that is a commit. No need to say "commit" too. But as already said, if you prefer to have "commit" there, I'll add it - no biggie. Thx. -- Regards/Gruss, Boris. https://people.kernel.org/tglx/notes-about-netiquette
