Extra note on this: you seem to have done "git pull-request" in a wide
window, and then copied-and-pasted it into your MUA.

So the diffstat lines are also very long, and then they line-wrap and
it all looks nasty.

Avoid this by either using a file for the output (that you then edit
for your own added messages), or using a normal 80x25 terminal or
something.

I guess I should ask Junio to add a "--stat=80" to the upstream git
request-pull script.
