Problem: vim-patch commits lack an informative title and summary in the very first line of the commit message when the vim-revision is a Git SHA hash, unlike when is a Vim version. This makes it difficult to discern at a glance what changes are introduced by such vim-patch commits (in git log, PR title, changelog generated by git-cliff, etc.). BEFORE: vim-patch:abcdef123456 runtime(vim): improve performance <some details> ... Solution: Repeat the title of the upstream commit message, to improve the clarity and visibility of the commit message. AFTER: vim-patch:abcdef123456: runtime(vim): improve performance <some details> ... Note: the `vim-patch:<hash>` token is still needed by `vim-patch.sh` (but not necessarily in the very first line of the commit message) to determine which vim patches have been applied. `<hash>` is internally normalized to 7 hex digits.
