Oh, OK.
In any case, you asked for feedback on the message format, so here is
some: I don't like having the commitdiff link first. I think the log
message is the most important thing and should be first. Possible
format (based on the example I just received):
Log Message
-----------
Another experimental commit.
Undo hacking other people previously did on README.
Branch

Summary
-------
README | 4 ----
1 files changed, 0 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-)
You could argue it either way about whether to put the commitdiff link
before or after the change summary, but offhand I think before will be
more useful. If there are a lot of files touched, people won't want
to have to scroll to the bottom to find the link.
