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.

That's a bug, and I now understand why you have a problem.  That box
should not be resizing itself.  Its supposed to be using a fixed
width font, and have a fixed number of columns, so you can format
a message including drawing ASCII art to explain yourself clearly
as you write a change.

The box always resizes, unless the window is wide enough. But I do not
see a good way to fix that.

Oh, you mean the window isn't large enough to show the full column
width of the text area?  But if you make it large enough, the box
stops expanding?
