[PATCH] gitk: Display commit messages with word wrap (try 2)

[Sergey Vlasov <vsu@altlinux.ru>]

Some people put very long strings into commit messages, which then
become invisible in gitk (word wrapping in the commit details window is
turned off, and there is no horizontal scroll bar).  Enabling word wrap
for just the commit message looks much better.

Wrapping is controlled by the "wrapcomment" option in ~/.gitk.  By
default this option is set to "none", which disables wrapping; setting
it to "word" enables word wrap for commit messages.

 The text about the "comment" variable IMHO just does not fit in the
 commit message above - if you prefer, I'll just make two separate
 patches, the first which leaves the "comment" name in place (ignoring the
 fact that the variable is no longer holding the comment text), and the
 second which just renames it to "headers".
