-## Template Type:
-## -------------
-## This is a velocity mail template, see: http://velocity.apache.org and the
-## gerrit-docs:config-mail.txt for more info on modifying gerrit mail templates.
-##
-## Template File Names and extensions:
-## ----------------------------------
-## Gerrit will use templates ending in ".vm" but will ignore templates ending
-## in ".vm.example".  If a .vm template does not exist, the default internal
-## gerrit template which is the same as the .vm.example will be used.  If you
-## want to override the default template, copy the .vm.example file to a .vm
-## file and edit it appropriately.
-##
-## This Template:
-## --------------
-## The CommitMessageUpdated.vm template will determine the contents of the email
-## related to a user editing the commit message for a change through the Gerrit UI.
-## It is a ChangeEmail: see ChangeSubject.vm and ChangeFooter.vm.
