The log message is indented with a TAB when we generate the ChangeLog
file from the Git log, so the 72-character lines will be 81, more than
we'd like to see in ChangeLog. CONTRIBUTE says "Lines in ChangeLog
entries should preferably be not longer than 63 characters" for that
reason. Please try not to exceed this limit, unless you really must
(like if you need to quote a long URL there).
Got it. I've adjusted my 'git-commit-mode' 'fill-column' accordingly. Revised patch attached.
