The recent-ish vim syntax file for git commit message takes those recommendations into account - they don't do anything about the present vs. past tense obviously, but come up with color warnings, which helps a lot. That's actually how I le

"From there to here, from here to there, funny things are everywhere!" I have been introduced to this masterpiece by reading some of the books to my daughter and it's a real delight, apparently as much for her than it is for me. I wish I ha
