Documentation/SubmittingPatches says:

Describe your changes in imperative mood, e.g. "make xyzzy do frotz"
instead of "[This patch] makes xyzzy do frotz" or "[I] changed xyzzy
to do frotz", as if you are giving orders to the codebase to change
its behaviour.

Thank you for your feedback Frans.

So for example a better description would have been: "use 'and' instead of '&'"?

It might be that a link is enough, but I would prefer to have an
excerpt from that, possibly with the link as reference.

You are right. I will provide one in the future.

Oscar


Thanks,
Frans

When patch applies a patch file it attempts to verify the sanity of the
 file in different ways.
-Checking that the file looks like a valid patch file & checking the code +Checking that the file looks like a valid patch file and checking the code around the bits being modified matches the context provided in the patch are
 just two of the basic sanity checks patch does.
