I am the author, and it was a direct response to a user who had
something in his mail path munging overly long lines (which are, in
fact, disallowed by rfc 2822).

Read this thread:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/70847

which contains the problem report and the patches. We could take this
one step further (but didn't at the time) by QP-encoding the body part
with long lines, which is what a normal MUA would do. Since the
receiving tools for git handle this situation, it should work fine. I
think such a patch would be welcome.
