Please do not discard a commit log message by placing them after the three-dashes. A good commit message would be of this form:

 - A single line to summarize what it does (goes to Subject);

 - A blank line (paragraph break);

 - A paragraph or more that elaborate on the above summary, if
   needed, and defend why the change is a good idea; especially
   if you considered other alternatives, a comparison to justify
   your choice.

This is largely up to Paulus, but I think anything that updates the repository should go to git-gui, not gitk. The latter is primarily a viewer.
