Dogmatism like "commit messages must be at least three lines" will result in commit messages like:

  here's
  some
  code.
Concentrating on form over substance is myopic.



Totally agree. Using three lines of text to describe fixing a typo in the comments or rewording/reformatting a block of text will just lead to an unclear message.
