Markdown source files: Use ... to end YAML metadata block
Also add a newline after the metadata block. ... is easier on markdown-mode; if --- is used, the line immediately above it will be treated as a setext header and highlighted, which isn't so easy on the eyes.

This post is a note to self.
As a long time git user, I've always used lowercase commit messages (in the subject line). I never quite liked the idea of capitalized commit messages, which are seldom complete sentences (and they are never period-terminated). Similarly, I avoid capilatization like hell in comments, unless when I write complete sentences. By the way, there's a technical advantage of writing lowercase commit messages: I can easily tell my human-made commits from auto commits like merge and revert commits, because they always begin with a capitalized "Merge", "Revert", etc.
