438: Long summaries in perforce changesets break post-review

Aug. 27, 2008
When someone has a changeset with a very long first line in the description,
post-review returns an error 500 "The host path may be invalid".  This is
totally bogus, because what is really happening is that it's truncating the
description field in the model.

We should either truncate it explicitly or error out.

It always happen for first line longer than 300 characters or so.
Truncating it would be my last choice. Display a warning and have submitter truncate
the line to avoid loss of information.
