I admit this a _bit_ of a nitpick (since as far as we know none of the
other scripts care about the terminal width), so I'm OK with this as-is
if you feel strongly the other way.

I remember one commit-graph test that does check the number of lines
in the progress output, assuming one progress line per commit-graph
layer, which breaks when we break the progress line in a too narrow
terminal.  Running './t5324-split-commit-graph.sh -v -i' in a 46
column wide terminal fails for me, but succeeds with 47 columns.

I do suggest setting COLUMNS=80 in 'test-lib.sh'.

Thanks for providing a concrete example. I agree we should just set it
for all scripts via test-lib.sh, then.
