This might leave the reader wondering why the "common" tag was there in the first place. I probably would have written it this way:

    command-list.sh, retired in the previous patch, was the only
    consumer of the "common" tag, so drop this now-unnecessary
    attribute.

which makes this example effectively unnecessary (plus, the patch itself already says the same thing).
