Well, if the commit message ended up being
"Thing ist doned"
Then adding
"Note: meant "Thing is done""
is not a real improvement IMO.
To be more specific: trying to fix any typos/grammar that make things
not completely impossible to understand just makes things even worse
with that system AFAICT, IMHO.
