Subject: [PATCH] tag: fix column output not using all terminal space

From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 11 May 2018 09:56:02 +0200

git-tag runs a separate git-column command via run_column_filter().
This makes the new 'git-column' process fail to pick up the terminal
width for some reason and fall back to default width. Just explicitly
pass terminal width and avoid this terminal width detection business
in subprocesses.

While at there, fix an off-by-one column setting in git-column. We do
not want to use up _all_ terminal columns because the last character
is going hit the border and wrap. Keep it at term_columns() - 1 like
print_columns() does. This affects the test in t7004 because effective
column width before was 40 but now 39 so we need to adjust it back.
