Not sure if I mentioned this, but having first line of the commit be a

it is helpful to others too who browse our commits on websites.


Yeah. The recommended style is to have the first line be 50 chars or
less, which is a bit unfortunate - it can be a challenge to keep to
that limit for a meaningful or comprehensive subject.
Yes, I know mine are often cut-off.  What I just did was to add a
50-character dashed line to the top of my editor window for commits so I
can see the limit each time  --- that should help me.



vim does better than this. It color codes the characters so they change color after 50 chars in the first line.


cheers
