Description

The Git suite CodingGuidelines suggest this about Error messages:

Error Messages

  • Do not end error messages with a full stop.

  • Do not capitalize ("unable to open %s", not "Unable to open %s")

  • Say what the error is first ("cannot open %s", not "%s: cannot open")

There are various instances of violation of these rules, for instance here and here. These violations need to be amended.
