I use these 7 git commit message style rules [1] to establish my foundation of "committese". Things like "Use the imperative mood in the subject line" give commit messages a succint, consistent style.

Everything after that is finesse, personal effort, and ability to express things succinctly (much like the personalized "headlinese" styles mentioned).
