I wouldn't do that for the first line of the message.
Someone typing
$ git commit -m "a very very very very very very very very very very very very long summary" \
-m "a longer description of the above summary"
Probably doesn't want his first line to be broken (otherwise,
git-format-patch and other tools would be confused).
So, that would be more like
echo "$log_message" | (read first_line; echo "$first_line"; fmt)
Perhaps another option would be to provide, say, a -M option, doing
log_message="$log_message
$(echo $1 | fmt)"
to allow people to explicitely say whether they want reformatting. But
that's probably overkill.
