Re: Clarification for the use of additional fields in the message body

Would any more software developers and maintainers like to share
their experiences around such details?

When do commit timestamps become relevant as a documentation item
for contribution authorship?

Do you usually just reuse a procedure from a well-known command
for which a description is provided like the following?
http://git-scm.com/docs/git-am
'â
"From: " and "Subject: " lines starting the body override
the respective commit author name and title values
taken from the headers.
â'

Will further fields be eventually mentioned there?

Markus
