I want to see as *much* data as possible in the limited summary, not the *LEAST*. That's why we have this problem in the first place: Developers are trying *HARD* to put sufficiently quality information. This proposal as-is basically champions the line length limitation to absurdity. If you go down this road you may as well "Fix" the problem by forcing everyone to make the commit summary the shortened SHA1 of the rest of the text in the commit message.... at least that way you're *GUARANTEED* to never exceed 50 odd characters. The commit summary will be useless, but hey, we got that message length down alright.
