Ram, what platform do your colleagues use?

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Oh, ok.  In that case I blame habit.

I think the best option you have is to just complain to your
colleagues about the long lines.  Then they would get a chance to
explore what the UI currently offers and to complain to this list
(perhaps via you :)) about missing features that would make their work
easier.

To put it another way: I don't see yet how a hypothetical "git commit
--wrap-lines -m 'long message'" would make life easier than just
running "git commit" and entering the message using $EDITOR.  There's
probably a UI or documentation bug lurking somewhere, so thanks for
thinking about these things.
