There was a problem hiding this comment.
Nice! Should we keep the ellipsis at the end for truncated lines?
A span the layout cut off at an edge was still printed in full, so a single word wider than the screen ran into the terminal's own wrapping.

Ooh, great idea. I've updated the code to do this, and updated my screenshot too. |

I like the layout change to the commits view, but I found myself being frustrated by line wrapping consuming a lot of space when I use gitu in a split on my laptop:
I had Claude add a
general.wrap_linesoption (defaulting totrue, preserving the current behaviour) and reviewed its implementation which seems reasonable to me (packing spans).This is what it looks like with
general.wrap_lines = false:(Let me know if i should squash the commits together.)
