I just made a commit and saw this message: [master]: created d9a5491: "Show "standard deviation" column in table 3" The colon after the shortened commit SHA1 is enough to signal that it will talk about a different piece of information on the rest of the line. I think the extra double quotes can be dropped safely: [master]: created d9a5491: Show "standard deviation" column in table 3 and it will make the output shorter by two columns, more pretty, and does not lose the clarity. -- Nanako Shiraishi http://ivory.ap.teacup.com/nanako3/
