Hi,

Some of my colleagues are lazy to fire up an editor and write proper
commit messages- they often write one-liners using `git commit -m`.
However, that line turns out to be longer than 72 characters, and the
resulting `git log` output is ugly.  So, I was wondering if it would
be a good idea to wrap these one-liners to 72 characters
automatically.

Can't you do this already?  From "git-log(1)":

 %w([<w>[,<i1>[,<i2>]]]): switch line wrapping, like the -w
option of git-shortlog(1).
