That's why the recommendation for git is to limit the first line to 50=20= characters. This of course conflicts with the common practice in Emacs= to=20 simply use the ChangeLog entry as the commit message. I personally try= to=20 write the commit messages in a git-friendly format and append the Chang= eLog=20 entry (if it is necessary) as its own paragraph. I would suggest to ma= ke this=20 common practice to improve the compatibility with the existing git tool= s. But=20 of course we can't got back and change all of the history to confirm. btw. there is a git-commit-mode (used by magit), which checks for this = rule. Regards, R=C3=BCdiger
