It being written in the git docs doesn't mean that git requires the described format either :o One thing that's generally nice about git is the fact that its users follow a somewhat standard way for commit messages even without it being required by the SCM. While I do like single-line commit messages myself I also like that approach, and it might be worth it considering to adopt it (first line is a descriptive summary of up to something like 50 characters, then a blank line followed by details). - Dominik
