On: Writing good commit messages

Given that the summary should be a single phrase, I find a period redundant and when doing git log --pretty=oneline, it looks nicer without the period.

Doesn't seem like an amazing rationale; personally, I like periods -- they let me know the writer finished their thought.

If it's the end of the message, one can assume the thought was completed there.
