Hi Arash,

I've adjusted the commit message as best I could (it wasn't 100% clear
to me whether the summary line should appear "twice", both in the
subject and in the first line of the commit message), and can't
remember any reason not to just use setq, so I've changed it to that.
Any further feedback is welcome.

Thanks, best,

Paul
