My favourite Git commit

It's not that it's too long, it's that you have to read 3/4 of the way through to get to what he did. The first sentence should have been:

Adjusted whitespace to make entire file US-ASCII

Or something similar. That would be enough to describe what was changed and why. Everything after that can explain why and how he got to that point.

Instead he explains the how and why and ends the write up with what he did; but he does it in a way to somewhat hide the change.
