Hi all. Recently it was brought to my attention that there is a dead link [1] in our documentation (commit message guidelines [2]). After having a look and asking around it turned out that it currently points to the old wiki which is finally offline, hence the dead link. I have created a patch to re-write the old content from the wiki in [3].
So far this is more or less a rewrite of what has been there in the old wiki with some additions from me. One review comment is that the mentioned limits for the line length of the first commit message might not be sufficient anymore. There it stated that the first line should be less than 65 characters or absolute maximum 75. Shall we adjust this length now that we are having this commit message guideline available again in our docs? Limiting to a too low number might lead to struggles when writing a meaningful description with the prefixed file path. Having too big numbers here might make it hard to read on consoles and even in Gerrit. Any thoughts on the new limits? Or are the ones mentioned there still fine? Your input is valuable.
