Btw. there are also people who don't have 1600x1200 screens, and where
even the 72 lines won't fit into the commit-message box. I think it's
bad to create UIs that don't scale (up as well as down). Therefore, I
think we should use automatic linebreaks, because it's the only
solution that scales, and that gives the user the freedom to decide by
himself how he wants to format the commit-messages.
