I can't help but feel that these three "rules" should be removed and placed in a separate list of style guidelines since "breaking" them is hardly going to make your commit message unreadable.
E.g.:
5ba3db6 fixed failing CompositePropertySourceTests.
would still good enough in my book. I think consistency is actually more important than following those three prescriptions specifically. It only becomes an issue if you capitalize some subjects but not others, alternate between imperatives and past participles, or use different punctuation styles.
