Thank you for pointing this out. This has been an annoyance for me, too. I think perhaps some contributors may be unaware of the issue due to differences in tooling or perhaps just not noticing, but I thought illustrating the problem might help.
---- If you don’t include a blank line after the summary, in most(?) git tooling you will see the entire commit message on a single line that likely overflows the allotted UI. Example: > Pothos*: add forgotten pg compiler_blacklist_versions See: > https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commit/936460c22e467e2da904e4da1510dc8d0a71d1c4 With a blank line after the summary (before “See:”), the above will show as intended: > Pothos*: add forgotten pg compiler_blacklist_versions When viewing commit logs, it is important for readability that summaries be succinct. Spot the problem below! > 6ff5870e1a2 py-pikepdf: update to 8.0.0 > 4804bfc7c58 qpdf: update to 11.5.0 > ff196f7ee42 sudo: update to 1.9.14p1 > beb390fb2ba TeXShop: update to 5.14 > fc485378a2e stunnel: update to 5.70 > 331c484f0c1 Pothos*: add forgotten pg compiler_blacklist_versions See: > https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/commit/936460c22e467e2da904e4da1510dc8d0a71d1c4 > 03e125ee250 Pothos: simplify via pg stub; rev-bump > 936460c22e4 Pothos*: blacklist clang < 900 > f97be86b5f9 PothosCore: rev-bump due to muparserx ABI change (Sorry to pick on commit 331c484f0c1. It was simply the first example I came across.) -Aaron
