You don't have to send another revision just for this issue, but the
commit message would be better as "Align arguments with open parenthesis".
Something that explains what you did, rather than what warning message you
fixed.  In this case, the thing you did is pretty obvious from the warning
message, but that might not always be the case.  So it is better to get
used to writing commit messages that explain what you did and why, rather
than what error message you fixed.  If you force yourself to write a
commit message without using the word fix, you will probably come up with
a good solution.
