The file name of the patch generated by `git format-patch` usually be truncated as there is less than 60 bytes left for the subject of commit message exclude the prefix patch number, say "0001-".

As per the kernel documentation[1], it suggest the length of subject no more than 75.

Show 6 quoted lines

Considered the prefix patch number "0001-" would take 5 characters, increase the FORMAT_PATCH_NAME_MAX to 80.
