I guess that would be ok, since shortlog by definition can't have any
issues with multiple lines lining up with each other.

At the same time, it might be a bit odd to show tabs in that first
line differently for the one-line vs multi-line log version. But maybe
it isn't - I think shortlog is the only thing that does that wrapping
anyway, so shortlog is already special.

I think the reason shortlog output gets both the de-tab and the
wrapping is that shortlog_add_commit() just calls pretty_print_commit
with CMIT_FMT_USERFORMAT.
