The commit message widget does not wrap the next and has a configurable
fixed width to avoid creating too wide commit messages. Though this was
only enforced in the GUI. Now we also check the commit message at commit
time for long lines and ask the author for confirmation if it exceeds the
configured line length.

Needs Tcl 8.6 because of `lmap`.
