There are some commit messages which have long lines (long enough to
require wrapping on a terminal). Can we agree to write commit messages
with lines short enough to not need wrapping? Apparently git-log
doesn't wrap lines automatically -- I think it's unreasonable to ask
users to do something like this [1] or this [2] or even this [3].
