$ git log --no-merges --oneline drivers/pwm/ | sed -r 's/^\w* ([^:]+): .*/\1/' | sort | uniq -c
1197 pwm
1 PWM

The vast majority of the commits use pwm: as a prefix, only one uses PWM:.
In fact if you look across the tree almost everywhere lower case is used
for the prefix.

I'm just trying to follow convention.

Having said that, I think the prefix is totally redundant, it is clear from
the commit files what they are affecting. I am not sure what it really adds.

$ git log --no-merges --oneline drivers/pwm/ | grep -E '^\w* ([^:]+): [A-Z]' | wc -l
217
$ git log --no-merges --oneline drivers/pwm/ | grep -E '^\w* ([^:]+): [a-z]' | wc -l
1069

Although not as clear, convention seems to be lower case for commits. The
first line of a commit is not really a sentence, there is no trailing
period.

I am happy to oblige, just wanted to point this out. Sorry if this starts
a bikeshed discussion.

Thanks,

Sean
