I believe that it should; if it is more than just a few columns wide,
it tends to make diffs and commit messages wrap on terminals they are
meant to accommodate, and it displays an unfortunate tendency to be
far more than a "few" columns wide.  Even when it is correct, for
Pidgin it often has 3-5 parallel lines at two columns apiece, and
often it mistakenly draws O(a lot) of parallel lines.
