I guess the ideal width is subjective, I usually wrap at 72 chars because
then you've got 4 blanks on either side when viewed with "git log", which
I find neater than maxing out the horizontal width.

In some cases I deliberately wrap at less than 72 chars or allow 73 chars
if it avoids vastly unequal widths in a paragraph.  Often when I later
doublecheck what you've committed, I find that you've rewrapped everything
to 75 chars and the result doesn't look as neat as I wanted it to be.
Not a big deal, but thought I'd mention it now that you're codifying this
"rule" somewhat more formally.
