[PATCH] Reformat "your branch has diverged..." lines to reduce line length.

From: Avery Pennarun <hidden>

Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

The message length depends on the length of the branch name.  In my case,
the branch name "origin/add-chickens2" put the first line of the "your
branch has diverged" message over 80 characters, which triggered "less -FS"
to not exit automatically as expected.

This patch puts the newlines in slightly different places to reduce the
probability of this happening.  Now you'd need a significantly longer
branch name to trigger the problem.

I suppose a full-on automatic wordwrapper would be nicer :)
