This is awkward.  Just state in sentences what is happening in the
commit.

There is no need for formalities like "and here comes the summary
of the changes" that's implicit in what this is, a commit log message.

Because this last condition goes from a plain

	if ()

to

	else if()

the next line is not not indented properly, you must fix that up.

Also, do not split up the closing brace and the next part of the
conditional as you did here, that's wrong.  Do this:

	} else if (...

Do not do this:

	}
	else if (...

You've been submitting patches way to long to be making so many
mistakes like this, my review efforts feel entirely wasted.
