Shortest ever commit message tutorial:

1. Problem
2. Motivation
3. Solution with explanation how it will map on addressing the problem.

Do this for every possible commit and you will get it right 99%
of time. I can admit that even today I don't always get this myself
fully right but I try my best ;-) That does not mean you could not
do better than me.

And generally, depending on subsystem tho, people usually feel more
confortable with "imperative form" rather than "science paper" form.

Example:

1. Imperative: "Check the pointer for nullness."
2. Sciency: "We must check the the pointer for nullness."
