That's a good idea.

I'm not so sure about the interface, though.  Does the task really
warrant adding a new git command?

If a --column parameter is added, I think it should expose the full
range of options, i.e. fill columns first (ls -C style), fill rows first
(ls -x style) as well as off (ls -1 style) and auto.

Shouldn't the columnizer use utf8_width() instead of strlen(), like
strbuf_add_wrapped_text() in utf8.c?
