From 52ffe995b9a3fc43de8eca80bedab2e055aac562 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremy White Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2012 17:27:09 -0500 Subject: Documentation: describe subject more precisely The discussion of email subject throughout the documentation is misleading; it indicates that the first line will always become the subject. In fact, the subject is generally all lines up until the first full blank line. This patch refines that, and makes more use of the concept of a commit title, with the title being all text up to the first blank line.
