Hudson's instant messaging is unhelpfully wordy

XMLWordPrintable

      When Hudson reports a test pass or failure by IM, it reposts the entire commit message. If the commit message is long, such as one which is the result of a merge, the resulting posting will be longer than any IM posting should be.

      This patch causes only the first line of commit messages, which conventionally are a summary, to be reposted. An ellipsis is used to indicate when the message has been truncated.

          I think that's a reasonable request, but I think it should be configurable (my commit comments are usually short - 2-3 lines - and I wouldn't want it to truncate these comments).

          Does the patch also contain an option to turn the truncation on/off?

          At the moment, it's not configurable, it always hides everything but the first line of the commit message.
