That was a perfectly fine commit message I was forced to mangle into 2 lines3 lines due to completely arbitrary wrapping requirements designed for display resolutions from the MS DOS days. I do not care in the slightest that the author of git himself still prefers 72, the rest of humanity has moved on to having more screen real estate and would like to not be restricted to half the size of a twitter post. 80 char messages I can manage (my original there was 79). 100 is much more reasonable.
Github may still split it on the pull request page, but it doesn't render it unreadable. They use a pair of ellipses at their line break to make users aware that those 2 lines are one in the actual commit. Eventually github to will have to move its line wraps into the modern age. My screen isn't even large - I am still rocking 1280 width on one of them even. There is no good reason for us to be demanding 72 width per line.
