Project owners can change the amount given to a commit during the merge. To do that they must include one of these hashtags in the merge commit message:

• #huge: the author will get 5 times the normal tip amount
• #big: 2 times the normal amount
• #small: half the normal amount
• #tiny: 1/5th the normal amount
• #free: no tip at all

Note that each merged commit will receive its own modified tip.

Also note that the modifier only works when all these conditions are met:

1. The merge has exactly 2 parents and there are new commits in only one of the 2 branches. More complex merges are harder to interpret. This is what happens when you merge a pull request on GitHub.
2. The merge author is a collaborator of the project. This was implemented to prevent abusive hidden modifiers in commit messages.

We suggest project owners add a public statement on how they will modify tips.
