Thinking about it more - manual wrapping just seems so primitive, whether it
is in the commit dialog or if it has to be done because a command line tool
doesn't wrap, or a generated web page doesn't wrap, or wherever and
whatever. In 2010 who gives a heck about 72 characters when people have
everything from netbooks to 30"+ screens? So maybe my issue is just
basically with manual wrapping - it's not a 21st century concept.

But please, I do LOVE Mercurial, so please read this as a very minor grumble
at worst.
