If the limit is 60 characters, how are you going to make sure the log
message makes sense? How will you distinguish 60 characters of a
Shakespear verse, random characters or a meaningful commit message?
The reason we don't include a commit hook like that by default is
because we feel this is a social issue without a technical problem:
how long do you think it will take your users to find out they need to
specify 60 'x's?
