This is strictly my own idiosyncrasy, I know, but it has stubbornly refused my many attempts to change it over the years: I cannot get used to the imperative. Do this or do that always signals some pending issue, something yet having to be done. Whereas a message saying did this or did that tells me exactly what I need to know, namely what the commit was about in the first place.
But then, my linguistic instincts are probably all slightly off: I have so far never gotten used to pull request not meaning 'kindly asking permission to download some code from your repo'. I really feel Linus should have consulted me on that one.
