So you resize your gitk window. It's not like there are no other commits
with a bit longer commit titles.

The important part is that our commit messages should be readable months
and years from now - I don't have to explain this to you, of all people.

"pessimize" is not even a word:

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/pessimize:

“pessimize”

  The word you've entered isn't in the dictionary. Click on a spelling
  suggestion below or try again using the search bar above.

So while I have an idea what you mean, I'm sure that "what" can be
formulated in a better way.

Thx.
