Check that no dot/period ends the commit message summary?

Dear checkpatch folks,


git’s default messages don’t use a dot/period at the end of the commit message summary (title).

• Revert …
• Merge …

Some guides on the WWW, like *How to Write a Git Commit Message* [1], also recommend that: Do not end the subject line with a period.

Would that be sensible to add to the checkpatch script?


Kind regards,

Paul
