Hi all,
I have been using git for a few years now and really like the software.
I have a small annoyance and was wondering if I could get the communities
view on this.
When using git GUI I find it handy to be able to re-size the "Unstaged
Changes" and the "Staged Changed" fields.
I would like the same thing for the "Commit Message" field, or to have it
re-size with the git GUI window.
I can re-size the "Commit Message" vertically when making the "Modified"
panel smaller.
Does this make sense?
I would be happy to get into more detail if that is necessary or if
something is not clear.
Thank you.

HI,
the reason why it is fixed, is because commit messages should be
wrapped at 76 characters to be used in mails. So it helps you with the
wrapping.

Right ok. I understand.
Knowing this I think I might start writing my commit messages differently
then.
Thank you for this.

You can configure gui.commitMsgWidth if you don't like the default
(which is 75, not 76).

Hi Marc,
Yeah I did that in my local version and got my desired effect.
But knowing it was designed like this and and not a bug,
I am happy to use the designed behavior and adjust my way of working.
