I understand this rationale, but I think most developers will encounter commit messages written by bozos who don't press enter after every 72 characters, far more frequently than commit messages that contain stack traces or other fixed-format artifacts. (Disclosure: I am one of these bozos.) The tool flubs every non-wrapped paragraph just so it can preserve the occasional blob of ASCII art.
If the tool applied reasonable wrapping heuristics and got it wrong once in a while, it could easily offer a `--no-wrap` option to let users see the message exactly as it was composed.
