From d0f807e5f38713470d307e17484e7a2441b51bb6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: wm4 Date: Tue, 13 Jun 2017 22:42:12 +0200 Subject: DOCS/contribute.md: commit message body should be line-broken too Not all tools apply line breaking. Which is probably good, because you wouldn't be able to put lines in there which should _not_ be broken. Don't ask me whether there is an "official" git convention for this. --- DOCS/contribute.md | 5 +++-- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/DOCS/contribute.md b/DOCS/contribute.md index 994e2040c1..c7226ec819 100644 --- a/DOCS/contribute.md +++ b/DOCS/contribute.md @@ -24,8 +24,9 @@ Sending patches the change. - The subject line (the first line in a commit message) should contain a prefix identifying the sub system, followed by a short description what - impact this commit has.
