Actually, the way to think about this is that this "summary" is really
about giving a *name* to the patch.  In this context, 80chars is usually
not that restrictive (although often a large part is taken by some kind
of context like "lisp/emacs-lisp/tabulated-list.el: ", that still leaves
40chars for the "name-in-context").
