It seems to me ASCII art should be auto-detectable... Maybe enough to make the wrap flag unneeded in most cases. (wrap/nowrap/auto). At first I was thinking about looking for special chars, but then it may be simpler and just as useful to look for comment lines start with spaces ane a few special characters.

Try this command: git log | sed 's/^ [\t |\\\/>]/| /' | less. It seems to detect lines that I do not want wrapped pretty well.
