Having a prefix gives context, and is especially useful when trying to find
a specific change by looking at the history, or when running ``git blame``.

+ Sample prefixes: ``vo_gpu: ...``, ``command: ...``, ``DOCS/input: ...``,
+ ``TOOLS/osxbundle: ...``, ``osc.lua: ...``, etc. You can always check the git
+ log for commits which modify specific files to see which prefixes are used.

- The first word after the ``:`` is lower case.
- Don't end the subject line with a ``.``.
- Put an empty line between the subject line and the commit message.
