Describing patches and making them easily understandable often gives me
a headache.  Your suggestion has been particularly helpful, and it has
made me realize that this task is not as difficult as I imagined:
dividing the commit message into two sections. The first section
describes what the main changes are, and the second section provides
background information and motivation.

Thank you very much.

Best regards,
