With more than 76, `git log` wraps in a 80-column terminal. Here's my rule: (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("/\\.git/\\(COMMIT\\|TAG\\)_EDITMSG\\'" . vcs-message-mode)) (define-derived-mode vcs-message-mode text-mode "VCS-message" "Major mode for editing commit and tag messages." (auto-fill-mode 1) (set (make-local-variable 'tab-stop-list) (number-sequence 4 100 4)) (setq indent-tabs-mode nil fill-column 72 truncate-lines t)) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
