The "flowed" formatting caused some lines to run together (because
leading spaces) and others to wrap at 72 characters.

There's no hard and fast rule but long-standing practice from before
we started using git (i.e., with CVS) was to credit the author in the
ChangeLog file rather than in the commit log, because there was no
convenient way to change the identity of the committer.

Lately I've been using both the ChangeLog and the --author option when
I commit a patch without any further adjustment, but only the
ChangeLog when I have to make any other repairs.  However, I confess
to sometimes forgetting to use --author.
