Reviewing the PIN comments to see how resilient they are to fools entering long text.

Text used to test the Pin comments was only 352 characters long.
Actual text used.
“Well let’s put a pin in it and come back to this later. We will not forget why a pin is important, it’s just not very obvious here. So I’m going to test the length of the comments I can make, because I suspect they are limited in the database to 1024 characters, but I’m sure that the UI will not get this correct prior to me saving this very long text.”

Ye that field is 256 characters long and we’re not really handling that anywhere. I’ll sort it out by the next build

BTW, pinning will be important when the dependencies feature is finished (will be in a point release).
