The issue of soft-wrapping text drives me nuts, not just with editors like vim but with programming-focused tools that can edit text in general. Github is terrible for this. Why isn't it possible to enable soft-wraps when viewing diffs? Hard-wrapping the text is not always a solution because it makes the text so much less versatile in terms of what you can do with it, unless you're willing to periodically remove the hard-wraps when you want to move the text somewhere else. Using markdown is not a solution because markdown is destructive; it eats blank lines and indentation.
