The problem with automatic wrapping on the display is that there could
be parts of commit message that *shouldn't* be wrapped, like code
sample, or URL... and in plain text you don't have a way to separate
flowed from non-flowed part.

Also with long non-breakable identifiers you sometimes need to wrap by
hand (or use linebreaking algorithm from TeX) or go bit over the limit
to make it look nice.

BTW. proper editor used to create commit message can wrap it for you
;-).
