We usually consider that 80 character is a strict maximum, and to have e.g. "git log --oneline"'s output fit on 80 column terminal, we try to stick to 50 chars (man git-commit documents that). The subject line can say "what" the patch does, and the "why" can be deferred to the body (after the blank line in the commit message). -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/
