```
CSS is widely used, motivating it being included as a built-in pattern.
It must be noted that the word_regex for CSS (i.e. the regex defining what is a word in the language) does not consider '.' and '#' characters (in CSS selectors) to be part of the word. This behavior is documented by the test t/t4018/css-rule.

Add the info in documentation that CSS is now built-in.

We normally write subject lines as "<subsystem>: <description",
hence that would be:

userdiff: add built-in pattern for CSS

This text wasn't properly wrapped. Please wrap around 72 columns (M-q on Emacs,
or google "text wrap $youreditor" for others).

Also, saying _what_ your patch does is not the most important question here.
Focus on the _why_ in the commit message.

(We had a real-life off-list discussion about this and I agree that it's a
sensible behavior, but others may disagree)

> Add the info in documentation that CSS is now built-in.

This doesn't add much to the patch (we can already see that from the patch
itself). I'd remove it.

Missing sign-off (yours, and you can add mine to mark the fact that I allow
you to contribute to Git as part of your student project).

I think you meant to say this "doesn't add much to the *commit
message*", and that the sentence should be removed from the commit
message, while retaining the actual documentation update in the patch.

That's of course how I understood it, but thanks for pointing it out !

Beside that, all of Matthieu Moy comments seem correct to me and will be taken into account.
