I think this is a bad style to use for commit messages. For GIT, a good
commit message is a first line being a summary, and a more extensive
message below. The way you used a contentless first line means that
somebody perusing a "git shortlog" or "git annotate" does not get any
useful information out of it. It would have been better phrased
like
"Use PG_MAJORVERSION define to create the PG_VERSION file
It is easier than using the PG_VERSION define."
or similar.
It is also bad for pgsql-committers list archives, because those get an
extract of the first line too.
