Currently you don't see the whole message anyways if the box is too small
for the text. I find that quite annoying, especially since there are
neither keys nor a scrollbar to scroll horizontally.

In this case, I use the middle mouse button to pan around. And then I do
see what I will get.

Ok, that's not bad. But nevertheless I think we should at least add a
scrollbar.

The width of the box was chosen wisely: It takes a bit less than 80
columns, to leave room for quoting in emails and to avoid wrapping of git
log output.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but on my system (wish8.5) the box width
changes with the window size, and gui.commitmsgwidth appears to be ignored.
Even if I close and restart git gui, the old window size is kept.
