Description

Per the collaborator guide:

Commits are reverted with git revert , or git revert .. for multiple commits. Commit metadata and the reason for the revert should be appended. Commit message rules about line length and subsystem can be ignored. A Pull Request should be raised and approved like any other change.

Research direction

Start by reading the linked collaborator guide section on reverting commits to identify the exceptions for line length and subsystem checks. Then locate the commit-message validation entry point and its existing tests; done means revert commits bypass only those checks while other validation remains unchanged.
