Subject: [PATCH/RFC] commit-template: improve readability of commit template
Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2017 22:54:33 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170626172433.19785-1-kaarticsivaraam91196@gmail.com> (raw)

* Previously the commit template didn't separate the
  distinct messages shown. This resulted in difficulty
  in interpreting it's content. Add new lines to separate
  the distinct parts of the template.

* Previously the warning about usage of explicit paths
  without any options wasn't clear. Make it more clear
  so user gets what it's trying to say.

 I've tried to improve the message specified in the commit. Hope
 it works correctly.

 Local test passed.
