Looking good. It is especially good that we say why we chose to
make it unlimited instead of raising it to some arbitrary value.
The claim that the longest one would fit on a line is not still
substantiated (we could say "git-X manual page" needs the most
columns and people can check for themselves), but I'll let it pass.
Will queue. Thanks.
