I'm totally fine with not abbreviating so much the subject!

I did that because of posts like this:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2290016/git-commit-messages-50-72-formatting

and because vim shows in yellow the first 50 characters of the summary, to help
people following that limitation. In order words, I've understood that I shall
try to fit in 50 chars and never exceed 72 chars.

That lead me to desperate attempts to save characters, like in patch 7 where
I tried to abbreviate "move" with "mov", but I couldn't add a dot for obvious
reasons. [Until now, I was used to make the summary fit in 80 characters.]

What is the convention for trace-cmd?
In particular, what's the hard-limit I shall never exceed ?
