Not sure if I mentioned this, but having first line of the commit be a

Yeah. The recommended style is to have the first line be 50 chars or
less, which is a bit unfortunate - it can be a challenge to keep to
that limit for a meaningful or comprehensive subject.

Yes, I know mine are often cut-off.  What I just did was to add a
50-character dashed line to the top of my editor window for commits so I
can see the limit each time  --- that should help me.

Oh, that's tight. I didn't know about the 50 char recommendation. I've tried to keep mine < 76 chars, so that when you do "git log", it fits on a 80 char display with the 4 char indentation that git log does.
