From 74a475acea49459721ae4b062d3da68c74259009 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josh Triplett Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2014 14:48:28 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] SubmittingPatches: add style recommendation to use imperative descriptions Most commit messages use this style, and the recommendation frequently comes up in discussions (especially in response to patches that don't use it), but that recommendation doesn't actually appear anywhere in Documentation. Add this style guideline to SubmittingPatches, using the description from git's SubmittingPatches.
