+1. I would say having refactor in commit header is fine too, though it's more natural to start the sentence with refactor.

No one would know what R and C mean, and I'd have to teach that to the whole team. Just use the word "Refactor" if you're refactoring as the first word of the commit, and don't use that word for everything else. You can't just start using your own made up abbreviations without getting buy-in from other people who work on the codebase.
