The subject line of the patch email becomes the first line of the
git commit message. This also documented on 'git commit' man page.

DISCUSSION
       Though not required, it’s a good idea to begin the commit message with
       a single short (less than 50 character) line summarizing the change,
       followed by a blank line and then a more thorough description.

Overly long summary lines are flagged as errors by tools like Debian lintian.
