While we're on it, how importend is it to describe the circumstances a commit addresses? I.e. assume i wrote a commit that fixes a bug on the PBXA9 board only within 'base-hw'. The first line of the commit would be "Fix a nightmarish bug, in 'base-hw' on the ARM PBXA9 board.", but this is often to longer then 50 chars :-)
