Newlines in Commit Messages

[Matt Todd]

I use them.

/sadface

Any plans on not changing them to spaces? It'd be fine to make the
first line big and just show the rest smallish.

I can't leave them in the source list (sidebar), it will break the application.  I can, however, leave them in the main view.  Which I think is still the case, right?

What if instead of turning them into spaces you just grabbed the first
line for the sidebar, then displayed the full message for the main
view. Common practice on lots of apps is to have the first line be a
short description, followed by a blank line, followed by a more
detailed list.

That sounds like a good solution, Josh.  Can someone confirm that newlines are still working in the primary view?

I just submitted a change to my branch to deal with this (and *then*
found the forum).

I think <pre> might be a better approach, but it gets ugly rather
fast. Something like this, but with a fixed-width font would be
ideal, I think.
