The log message (both the subject line and the text just above) should be
in the imperative. Typically, that means that you should not be using
verbs that end in "ed".

There is too much detail in the subject line. Consider how you could give
the general idea, but be more concise.

For the text above, what could you say rather than "fix". When you say
that you fixed something, the reader may know (or at least hope) that it
is better, but gets no information about what you did, nor why.
