Re: [git] Git Commit message guidelines

[Steffen Pingel <steffen.pingel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mylyn project and potentially updating the default commit message
template that's included in Mylyn.

I have added the links from this thread but if anyone has further
input please feel free to chime in on the bug:

 370038: Remove task state from commit message template for Mylyn projects
