Patch that ellipsizes the subject (407 bytes, patch)

Description Nicolas Bigaouette 2010-12-23 15:31:10 UTC 
A collegue of mine has the bad habit of commiting with huge messages on a single line (no word wrap).

When I select such commit in gitg's history, the gitg window expand so gitg's "Subject" field is all visible, making the bigger then the screen.

To get back to normal, I have to select a commit with a decent message length and use my window manager to maximize gitg's window.

Using gitg 0.0.6 on ArchLinux x86_64 (KDE).

Thanks!

Patch that ellipsizes the subject

The subject is not ellipsized by default, whereas the Parent subject is; the attached patch simply does the same for the main subject. Since the full subject is viewable inline, it seems a reasonable compromise
