Hi Suniel,
Well done with you continued versions. I am being particularly nit picky here but since we are
striving for perfection I'm sure will humour me. If English is not your first language please
forgive me for picking you up on language subtleties.

This should be a description of the problem, so saying _why_ there is a problem or _what_ is wrong
with the code currently that warrants a patch. Sometimes while describing the problem you may
include descriptions of the solution especially it is not immediately obvious why your proposed
solution fixes the issue being explained. As an extra we shouldn't ever say 'This patch ...' or
'This does xyz'.

Perfect, this is in imperative mood. Spot on!

For what it's worth, Reviewed-by: Tobin C. Harding <me@xxxxxxxx>
As stated I am being particularly 'nit picky', the commit log is _probably_ good enough to be
merged, I am not a maintainer though so it's not really anything to do with me. I do know however
that sometimes patches go to the bottom of Greg's list if they have comments/suggestions. I mention
this only so you learn more about the process and to help you with successfully getting you patches
merged. Keep up the work!
Good luck,
Tobin.
