I am not a native speaker. But the command form sounds a bit misleading to me.

I see that the new name will make more sense after adding the state "FINAL".
But "FINAL" will not be a command form either.

I am fine with the change but I would prefer a better commit message.
What about something like?

"A comming support for continuous lines will allow to reopen records
with DESC_COMMITTED_MASK set. As a result, the flag will not longer
describe the final committed state. Rename it to DESC_COMMIT_MASK
as a preparation step."


With the updated commit message:
