Even if it is a very short commit message (see e.g.
https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/commit/581d2fd9f2d6 for a typical
commit message in Git's repository), I think it is okay.

Personally, I would have "lost" a few words about Visual Studio Code and
how popular it is, but probably only because I like it so much (and maybe
nobody wants to hear about that anymore).

However, in the Git project we do ask for your Sign-off:

Do you also want to add support for `code-insiders`? (That's what I run a
lot of the time because it allows me to develop code in my Windows
Subsystem for Linux while the GUI runs on Windows.)

This looks good to me!
