New issue 3164 by kevin.t....@gmail.com: rbt patch --commit should support
wrapping commit message lines
http://code.google.com/p/reviewboard/issues/detail?id=3164
What version are you running?
RBTools 0.5
What's the URL of the page this enhancement relates to, if any?

Describe the enhancement and the motivation for it.
The commit messages generated by 'rbt patch' are a great way to easily
ensure that high quality commit messages show up in the log. Unfortunately
the default configuration for 'git log' passes the log through a pager that
doesn't word wrap and instead creates a horizontal scrollbar, making commit
messages generated by it very difficult to read. For an example see this
commit [1], which was created following the process here [2]. Of course
this can be somewhat mitigated with editor configuration and committer
vigilance, but it would be really awesome if this were configurable for the
full repository in .reviewboardrc with something like PATCH_MAX_COLUMNS =
100.

What operating system are you using? What browser?
All of them, but this will predominantly affect users of git or other SCMs
that support 'rbt patch --commit'.
