Hello list,
git format-patch breaks (or better: word-wraps) long subject lines.
This is on Windows 7 with
$ git --version
git version 2.14.2.windows.2
Reproduce with (some output omitted):
--
$ git init test-format-patch
$ cd test-format-patch
$ touch file
$ git add file
$ git commit
-m"0123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789"
$ git format-patch -1 --stdout
