[Insight-developers] Gerrit push throws warnings? Who knew?

[kent williams]

I just pushed this topic http://review.source.kitware.com/#change,240

and got this message when I did the push:

git push gerrit

I had no idea topic names were supposed to be <=65 characters, or that
commit messages had to be < 70 characters.

Is this documented somewhere?

And it's already kind of a drag that git doesn't like log messages > 78
characters -- what's the deal with Gerrit being even pickier?

I've run into error messages if I use a multiline commit log message (don't
remember where or how) but this is the first time I've been warned!
