The soft limit of the first line of the commit message should be
"no more than 50 characters" or "50 characters or less", but not
"less than 50 character".

This is an addition to commit c2c349a15c0430a2ef9f858d69d095a00693379c

I think the “reference” format is nice:

See `Documentation/SubmittingPatches` at `commit-reference`.
