Better yet, _always_ write descriptive commit messages.  At all  
times, keep in mind that people are tracking your projects by reading  
your commit messages -- either on the website, in their RSS feeds, or  
by e-mail.  Simply put: the quality of your commit messages  
determines how people perceive you and your projects ...
