They wrote they're using . as placeholder commit messages.

I use f for such [f]ollowup/[f]ixup commits, and a for [a]dditional code/components/changesets. Both keys are trivial to enter. When cleaning it up after, f commits are typically squashed into previous ones, and a commits get a description and/or serve as a base for squashing.

I can see . working well as well, but having a more obvious character (with vertical height/substance) seems preferable.
