* Text formatting and spelling should follow the same rules as documentation
and in-code comments, ex. capitalization, full stop, etc.
+* If the commit is a bug fix on top of another recently committed patch, or a
+revert or reapply of a patch, include the svn revision number of the prior
+related commit. This could be as simple as "Revert rNNNN because it caused
+PR#".
+
For minor violations of these recommendations, the community normally favors
reminding the contributor of this policy over reverting. Minor corrections and
omissions can be handled by sending a reply to the commits mailing list.
