Excellent point on the noise. Independently of whether the branch info  
gets added the word "commit" should probably be dropped.

As far as long-line-wrapping goes, I don't really think this is a  
problem for Git to solve (by truncation or any other means); it's more  
of a user behaviour thing where one would hope that users would get  
into the habit of using concise subject lines and branch names.
