[Saptarshi Purkayastha <sunbiz@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have been looking at the commit messages that developers have added and
looking at them in the long-term, they will become useless because we lack
detail. I suggest that we should have some standard for commit messages.

*My suggested format:*

<module-name>: [author] - [bug fix] - <changes or implemented feature>

[author], [bug fix] - is optional... [author] should be included if you are
applying a patch or committing code that someone else has written

I also suggest that we should add lp:id when fixing any bug filed under our
project bug list. This automatically links the bazaar commits with launchpad
bug ids.

Please comment if you have some other formats and we all need to follow that
commit msg format.
