I don't know. The writing is okay, there weren't any spelling mistakes that I noticed, but the use of three words written in only capital letters was somewhat disconcerting. I'd say if the author wants to get it accepted for publication somewhere reasonably mainstream he's going to need someone else working at arm's length who is willing to take the time to go through it and highlight areas for revision and expansion before sending it back to him. The author and this person might need to repeat the process a few times.

Subsides -> subsists. Not strictly spelling, but definitely a mistake... Otherwise a pretty awesome commit message. Better than my personal most used (before work moved to git and let me rewrite local history): "oops, forgot to add the new file" and "oops, fix up the bloody test"...

  Yup, I realized the typo this morning. Hanging my head in shame. In fairness, this message was written at 4am after working for 18 hours straight (and 63 of the previous 84 hours, according to rescuetime).

    In terms of git features, I think I value correcting embarrassing typos in my commit messages higher than fixing typos in my code! They're a lot more frequent due to the fast and loose typing, and lack of a compiler on my back.

      If you're working in PHP, you should be used to fast and loose typing (also the lack of a compiler unless you work at Facebook).

        That was a terrible pun and you are a bad person and should feel bad.

  Have you run into "git commit --amend"? It will let you alter the most recent commit. Could be useful for times when you've forgotten to add a file before committing. (You maybe shouldn't use it if you've pushed, though.)
