From 4efb48eecb43717f70817bfb152bf86f7ed28b5b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?Neal=20Gompa=20=28=E3=83=8B=E3=83=BC=E3=83=AB=E3=83=BB?= =?utf8?q?=E3=82=B4=E3=83=B3=E3=83=91=29?= Date: Tue, 8 Jan 2019 12:23:05 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Bump commit subject length to 72 characters There's not really a reason to keep the subject length so short, since the reason to make it this short was for making nice renders of a summary list of the git log. With 72 characters, this still works out fine, so let's just raise it to that so that it's easier to give slightly more descriptive change summaries.
