How to write a proper commit message:

1. Prepare the context for the explanation briefly.

2. Explain the problem at hand.

3. "It happens because of <...>"

4. "Fix it by doing X"

5. "(Potentially do Y)."

For more detailed info, see
Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst, Section "2) Describe your
changes".
