One common approach is to prefix each commit message with the category.
For the Hello World Cordova app, I've been using the following: [app],
[test], and [doc].
Examples of the usage are:
$ commit -am "[app] Refactor the JavaScript."
$ commit -am "[test] Add deviceready test case."
$ commit -am "[doc] Update README.md with tagging details."
The approach can be applied to cordova-js, but for platforms: [android],
[bada], [blackberry], [common], [ios], [webos], [tizen], [wp7], whatever.
$ commit -am "[common] Refactored Geolocation"
$ commit -am "[wp7] Did something Windows Phone specific."
