rauschma The general rule is if someone were to apply your commit, the message should complete this sentence: "When applied, this commit will..." It's nice that some systems use commit messages for other purposes but the source code management should read cleanly for that use case.

rauschma Or in other words: since it's a commit message, it should read as an atomic statement of present tense and declarative voice as a single unit of work.
