Hi Stephen,

Sigh, this is more vim stupidity. The commits _look_ fine in vim and
look fine in git log on an 80 column display, but that is because the
"Tested-by" line somehow ended up with the perfect amount of space
characters to make it so.

This is not the first time this has happened - it keeps happening, and
I've no clue why it keeps happening, other than rediculous vi behaviour.
I'm sorry, but I don't see any solution to it at the moment. Maybe
someone can suggest something that (a) prevents it happening when I
paste in the Tested-by line, and (b) makes vim show when lines in a
commit message are longer than 80 characters?
