Is that more useful than what I proposed?

I don't want to make it arbitrary, to avoid 1000 character subject lines. If you are writing more than 100 chars in your subject, you are doing something wrong. (They tend to be abbreviated in other places as well; IIRC, cgit chops them quite short when its displaying a list of commits.) - Owen _______________________________________________ gnome-infrastructure mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-infrastructure
