====== How to do VCS commits ======

More often than not, comments on Git, Subversion, Mercurial or other version control systems (VCS) are totally useless because developers do not follow a few simple rules:

  * Separate subject from body with a blank line
  * Limit the subject line length
  * Capitalize the subject line
  * Do not end the subject line with a period
  * Use the imperative mood in the subject line
  * Wrap the body at 72 characters
  * **Use the body to explain what and why vs. how**
