Currently the coverletter options for wrapping long lines in the shortlog are: on, wrap as position72, with fixed indents. I think these defaults can produce poor looking output. This patch allows these to be optionally specified on the command line with --cover-letter[=wrap[,pos[,in1[,in2]]]] I'm not sure this is the right approach though.
