I haven't said we should use 50 chars, I was quoting the docs, that's all. I 
want a line length limit, I didn't say I want it to be that short. I would like 
our limit to be the same as the threshold over which GH truncates, which is 80 
I think.

Well as I said, I don't know what the actual patch is about and the original 
title didn't help.

What was that step? The title you pasted doesn't say what it was about, it only 
said what was wrong without it.

Agree about 50, not about the concept of a limit in general.

I often do fine-grained changesets and it very rarely was an issue. In the few 
cases it was, I took it as a hint that I should be writing a longer explanation 
in the actual message that wouldn't fit the title anyway.
