any reason to restrict commit log length?

I have a user that just committed a file and pasted an entire email thread
(plain text) into the commit log. His log entry is roughly 2600 characters
long. Before I go pound this user and restrict the length with a pre-commit
hook, I was curious if there was any good reason to restrict the length of
the commit log (other than this user constantly annoys me)?

We're running Subversion 1.5.0 (CollabNet binaries) and Apache 2.2 on
Windows Server 2003 if that makes any difference.

Thanks,

Dang Nguyen
