Currently, CodeReview e-mails look something like this:
User "Hashar" posted a comment on MediaWiki.r77186.

Comment:
There's no way to know which revision this is referring to, which is really annoying. Perhaps it should include a truncated commit summary?
Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement

"There are two limits that this standard places on the number of characters in a line. Each line of characters MUST be no more than 998 characters, and SHOULD be no more than 78 characters, excluding the CRLF."
78 seems reasonable
Though, "[MediaWiki] [r75646]: New comment added" is 40 alone...
Since the emails going out now include the revision and the revision being followed up, I think this is fixed.

Re-opening this. I'm fairly sure this isn't fixed, but the opening comment is kind of confusing.
When you get an e-mail about a new comment on a revision, it looks like something like this:
User "Platonides" posted a comment on MediaWiki.r70270.

Comment:
This is a problematic if you can't remember off-hand what the revision is about. As time passes, it becomes easier and easier to forget which revisions you've commented on and why, so the new comments make less sense and require greater context.
The e-mails should look like something like this instead:
User "Platonides" posted a comment on MediaWiki.r70270.
Full URL: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/70270#c13834
Commit summary: * (bug 24563) Entries on Special:WhatLinksHere now have a link to their history
New comment:
This way, you can know what the revision was about, so the comments hopefully make more sense.
Having commit summary context should apply to follow-up e-mails and new comment e-mails. I've changed the bug summary to be a bit clearer about this.

r88316 does the rest
GLHF.
r83316, rather. Thanks, Reedy!
Would it make sense to truncate the commit summary to a certain number of lines or bytes?
