Feedback Policy:

Our product teams collect and evaluate feedback from a number of different sources. To learn more about how we use customer feedback in the planning process, check out our new feature policy.

The Git commit textarea allows free form input. This is not helpful when writing git commit messages that can be easily read by other tools and on other platforms. For example, see Linus Torvalds' objection of using Github textarea for git commit messages

=======
Git commit text area can be customised to:

3. Hard wrapping of lines
