I really hate to comment on this, because I famously get annoyed by
people who act like it's soooo important and we have one "reviewer" who
wants every sentence to be in imperative tense. But past tense is kind
of ugly. You did it right in the Subject on v2. Use "Replace" instead
of "Replaced" here as well.

Btw, if someone provides you a commit message, then they're basically
obligated to allow it.

You need to put a little note here to say what changed.
