From f9a2b5dae96b05071105a9b84e98bcc8942960ed Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?utf8?q?Karl=20Hasselstr=C3=B6m?= Date: Tue, 7 Nov 2006 19:03:47 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Generate shorter patch names MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Not all commits are blessed with a really short first-line summary in their commit messages. This means that we shouldn't blindly take the entire first line of the comment, since that sometimes results in truly spectacular patch names. I chose 30 characters as a reasonable value, considering that we don't yet have any tab-completion on patch names. There's probably not much point in making it configurable.
