From dd1ee27503a7d21899bf50fa58cdd16bbab83633 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Menzel Date: Thu, 9 Dec 2021 12:49:35 +0100 Subject: util/lint/checkpatch: Decrease commit message line length limit to 72 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Currently, `checkpatch.pl`, imported from the Linux project, checks for 75 characters per line [2]: > Suggest line wrapping at 75 columns so the default git commit log > indentation of 4 plus the commit message text still fits on an 80 > column screen. But Gerrit’s Web interface and its commit hooks use with 72 characters per line [2]: remote: commit 35bb56d: warning: too many message lines longer than 72 characters; manually wrap lines remote: remote: SUCCESS remote: remote: https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/60004 [DO NOT SUBMIT] Gerrit commit msg line length test [NEW] So, decrease the suggested length from 75 to 72 characters per line.
