That's why the recommendation for git is to limit the first line to 50
characters. This of course conflicts with the common practice in Emacs to
simply use the ChangeLog entry as the commit message. I personally try to
write the commit messages in a git-friendly format and append the ChangeLog
entry (if it is necessary) as its own paragraph. I would suggest to make this
common practice to improve the compatibility with the existing git tools. But
of course we can't got back and change all of the history to confirm.
btw. there is a git-commit-mode (used by magit), which checks for this rule.
