Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?

The current spec does not say one way or the other but all the examples are lower case and someone tells me Angular's spec required it.

@epage commented on GitHub (Aug 15, 2019):
that is about the type while I'm talking about the description after the colon.

I guess that someone was me? 😉
In either case, it's mentioned here in the Angular CONTRIBUTING.md file:

I tend towards lower-case, but not a hill I think is worth dying on; by which I mean, I don't think it's necessarily worth adding more complexity to the spec enforcing my pedantry.
@bcoe commented on GitHub (Sep 7, 2019):
👍 we call out in the specification that conventional commits are not case sensitive.

Sorry to comment on such an old ticket, but as mentioned in an earlier comment, the spec only calls this out for the commit type, but not the description. It would still be helpful to tweak the first FAQ entry so that this is explicit, as I just stumbled over this point myself (it's what led me to this issue in the first place).
