Subject: [PATCH 5/7] format-patch: wrap generate_commit_list_cover()
Date: Sun, 15 Mar 2026 00:20:48 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7be0d6c49d09158739784cc70d17ddcbcd0a1fed.1773530191.git.mroik@delayed.space> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1773530191.git.mroik@delayed.space>
While most conventions should not allow for the text lines in commit
messages to get too long, when they do it could make emails harder to
read.
Teach generate_commit_list_cover() to wrap its commit lines if they
happend to be too long.
