Do As We Say...
---------------
When you look in our git history, you'll find not all commits follow
the guidelines here. Don't be fooled by this. These guidelines are
what we want, and your commits should follow them.
It's always difficult to counsel, "do as we say and not as we do," but
the truth is that the format of your commits will be held to a
different standard than the commits of people who have written the
majority of the code in FS. For one thing, your commits will be
reviewed, so following a careful format helps us to review and merge
your patches quickly and efficiently.
We want a clean and sensible git history, and over time more
contributors will be following the guidelines here.
