+SVN Checkin rules:
+
+When committing a patch to svn, you must use a checkin comment that fully
+describes the changes made. If the checkin is related to a bug, reference
+the bug number. Example:
+
         When removing a toolbar, make its items available again in the toolbar
         editor. (Bug #131182)
 
-Do NOT commit to this module without permission from me 
-(marco@gnome.org)
+Checkin comments MUST use the UTF-8 encoding.
+
+If you forget to check in some changes that belonged in the same commit (e.g. omitted
+a file), you must copy the checkin comment from the previous, incomplete checkin, and
+additionally reference that commit's svn revision number. DO NOT use meaningless checkin
+comments such as "forgotten file" !
+If you make a major mistake in the checkin comment (e.g empty, or you've forgotten to cite
+the bug numbers), you must create a new checkin that touches all files the original checkin
+changed (just using whitespace changes is ok), and in the new checkin comment must note that
+this new checkin fixes the original checkin, referencing it by its SVN revision number.
+
+Do NOT commit to this module without permission from a maintainer. See the MAINTAINERS file
+for who they are.
