from vim_ref.txt.gz:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
cmdheight (ch)          number  (default 1)
                        global
                        {not in Vi}
        Number of lines to use for the command line.  If you are annoyed by
        "Hit return ..." caused by long messages, set this option to a larger
        value.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and /etc/vimrc

at least for Package: vim, Version: 4.5-1
