The only thing I care about is whether there's an empty line between the head and body of the (Git) commit message.
I don't care whether the lines are too long, whether they're nicely capitalized, whether they end with a dot. These are all things that tickle my OCD gland but I've learned to ignore them because it is ultimately useless and a waste of my time to get worked up about it. If the summary and description are good enough, I'm a happy man.
(I'm talking about reading others people's commit messages here. I try to make my own commit messages adhere to the scriptures as declared by his Holiness himself: https://gist.github.com/matthewhudson/1475276 (which, I now note, makes no mention of the length of the header line).)
