Thanks, applied.

One minor nit, which I'll generally fix myself when I have the chance:

I generally like to fill comments at column 70, and in general, to try
to keep the summary line under 76 columns if possible, so that "git
log" doesn't wrap on 80 column screens.  It's not always possible to
do the latter, but it's something I will try to do.  Also, personally
prefer to use a lowercase to start the description since these
constraints generally mean the summary line can't be a complete
sentence.
