Umm, "git log" command shows untruncated log for the entry,
also gitk displays untruncated comment in the pane for
comments (I attached screenshot). However, we see truncated
comment in the top pane showing revision tree, and "Parent"
and "Child" in the pane for comments. I think, the truncation
of the comment is not by git itself but by the user interface
of the git repository browsers, like gitk

In the case of 2008-02-11 changeset, joining 4 lines
comment to single line can avoid the comment truncation
problem, but such long comment would not fit to most
interfaces of git repository browsers. I guess, the
expected work would be writing new short comment up to
40 characters or so.

Werner, my understanding is correct?
