Hi Pekka,

feel free to change the check script [1] to whatever is most comfortable to you 
:-) (sorry today I'm very busy so I can't do it myself; but I'm happy to review 
it once ready).

Regards,
Martine

Thanks Martine and all!

My memory is bad.  Now that I saw your answer, Martine, I remembered that I 
have asked about this before, in some other forum, and have got the same 
answer.  But I didn't remember it.

That is, Travis tricked me again.

If possible, it would be very nice if Travis (and make static-test) was changed 
so that I won't get tricked again and won't again start doing work which is not 
needed.

In more precise terms, could the string

  Commit message is longer than 50 characters:

be changed to

 Warning: Commit message is longer than 50 characters (but still < 70 
characters):

Had there been at least that one more word, "Warning:", this whole noise would 
not have taken place.

Martine and I discussed this over a PR a few months ago. The outcome was to 
update the Good Pull Request wiki page [1], which basically says what has just 
been discussed on this thread. Good to spread the word and share the link. :-)

Hi Pekka,

the 50 chars is just the warning bound. You can go up to 70 until the commit 
message check fails on you. Longer will make GitHub break the commit message in 
the webview with the dreaded […] ;-).

My usual approach is to boil down the summary to the bare minimum within these 
constraints (even using just the module name instead of the full path) and go 
into details in the following lines of the commit message.

Regards,
Martine

[Refactoring the nRF520 mega-PR to follow the standards...]

I guess this has been bashed to death, but I am annoyed.

With long paths, the 50 characters limit on the first line
of the commit message makes it impossible to have any meaningful
explanation of what the commit actually does.  Actually,
the limitation makes the commit messages unintelligible.

_Any_ change of increasing the limit to e.g. 72 characters?
