I don't see how this is a counterpoint. tpope says "This first line should be a concise summary of the changes introduced by the commit", and antirez says the first line should be a "synopsis of the meaning of the change operated by the commit"; these appear to be exactly the same thing. But then, I don't understand the distinction the original post seems to be making between "titles or subjects" and "synopses." A good title or subject for a git commit is a synopsis of the changes in the commit, in the same way a good headline for a newspaper article is a synopsis of the article.
