Release Notes:
Bug Fix
Release Notes Summary:
puppet describe now displays summary information for each type and provider regardless of whether they summary contains a period or not.

Given this code:

    Puppet::Type.newtype(:rcsrepo) do

      desc 'A local version control repository'

      ensurable

...

end

I see this behavior.

    [root@master ~]# puppet describe --list | grep rcsrepo

    rcsrepo         - .. no documentation ..

    [root@master ~]# puppet describe rcsrepo

    rcsrepo

    =======

    A local version control repository

If I add a period at the end, `puppet describe --list` outputs as expected.

Why is this?
