Keep GitHub pull request title as commit summary The first line of a git commit message is the line that's used with many git tools as the most concise textual description of that message. The most common use that I see is in the short log, which is a one line per commit log of recent commits. This commit moves the line Merge pull request #%s from %s. Lower into the message to reserve the first line of the resulting commit for the much more important pull request title. http://tbaggery.com/2008/04/19/a-note-about-git-commit-messages.html You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running: $ git pull https://github.com/apache/incubator-spark gh-pr-merge-title Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at: https://github.com/apache/incubator-spark/pull/574.patch ---- commit d2986db96d847ee4f888bbb3e247f73b99f7ea7f Author: Andrew Ash <and...@andrewash.com> Date: 2014-02-10T08:16:01Z Keep GitHub pull request title as commit summary The first line of a git commit message is the line that's used with many git tools as the most concise textual description of that message.
