Github boxes should be truncated

Feature

I think the text in the github boxes should be truncated. It does not look beautiful when linking to a commit with a long description, see this example:

Sure, PR to onebox welcome GitHub - discourse/onebox: A gem for turning URLs into website previews

Here’s a better idea: Only the first line of the commit should be in the big size and blue, the later lines should be non-bold and normal, and have proper linebreaks in them.

Would be more difficult to do, though.

Yep, it’s entirely possible that what I described would be butt-ugly…

I am not that Ruby pro, but I will have a look at this. Maybe I am able to fix it. :blush:
