I originally suggested a 63-character limit "so that git log --oneline avoids wrapping". Short hashes in the tree are typically 12 characters. With a space between the hash and the subject should result in a limit of 67 characters. I think I arrived at 63 by subtracting git's typical 4-space indentation, but that's not applicable to `git log --oneline`.

btw, I got this script. Named wrap74, it would wrap lines to 74 chars. And you can have several symlinks/hardlinks for it, with different names, e.g. wrap79, wrap64.
#!/usr/local/bin/python import fileinput import textwrap import os import re len = int(re.search('[0-9]+$', os.path.basename(__file__)).group()) all = '' for line in fileinput.input(): if (line == '\n'): print(textwrap.fill(all, len)) print() all = '' else: all += line print(textwrap.fill(all, len))
