GitMsgPreview

After discovering this gitmoji guide, I've become a (huge) fan of it.

I also want to respect this convention:

the first line of your commit message should be less than 50 chars

As I consider that an emoji takes up 1 char, and that we have to type the alias instead of the actual character, the ruler that I set doesn't work any more.

So, this plugin just shows the actual line plus it's length under the first one only.

The emojis are coming from the awesome EmojiOne.
