Tim Pope: A Note about Git Commit Messages

Spells out good formatting for git commit messages in great detail with justifications.

I'm not a huge fan of the suggestion of wrapping to be 80 column terminal sensitive (it feels like formatting to fit how a tool works rather than fixing the tool to work how it should), otherwise good advice.
