$ git commit
------------
-////////////
-We should fix 'git rm' to remove goodbye.c from both index and
-working tree for the above example.
-////////////
-
Instead of staging files after each individual change, you can
tell `git commit` to notice the changes to the files whose
contents are tracked in
DISCUSSION
----------
+Though not required, it's a good idea to begin the commit message
+with a single short (less than 50 character) line summarizing the
+change, followed by a blank line and then a more thorough description.
+Tools that turn commits into email, for example, use the first line
+on the Subject: line and the rest of the commit in the body.
