 The usual way to compose a log message of this project is to
 
- - Give an observation on how the current system works in the present
-   tense (so no need to say "Currently X is Y", just "X is Y"), and
-   discuss what you perceive as a problem in it.
+ - Give an observation on how the current system works in the
+   present tense (so no need to say "Currently X is Y", or
+   "Previously X was Y" to describe the state before your change;
+   just "X is Y" is enough), and discuss what you perceive as a
+   problem in it.
 
  - Propose a solution (optional---often, problem description
    trivially leads to an obvious solution in reader's minds).
