While the commit message widget has a configurable fixed width, it
nevertheless allowed to write commit messages which exceeded this limit.
Though there is no visual clue, that there is scrolling going on. Now
there is a horizontal scrollbar.

There seems to be a bug in at least Tcl/Tk up to version 8.6.8, which
does not update the horizontal scrollbar if one removes the whole
content at once.

Can you please add a version number when you send re-rolls the next time 
around. Something like "[PATCH v2] subject...". Makes it easier for me 
to keep track of things when there are multiple re-rolls of multiple 
patches.

You can do this by passing "-v2" (or "-v3", "-v4", etc) to 
git-send-email or git-format-patch.

You missed two quick questions I had in the last version. I'll ask them 
again below. Other than those two, LGTM. Thanks.

Looks much better!

If I remove this change, the behavior does not seem to change, and the 
commit message buffer still expands. So what exactly does this change 
do?

I'm not too familiar with pack, but why change the side from left to 
bottom? I tested by changing it back to left and it doesn't seem to make 
a difference.

I removed both of then, but they still made it into the patch, sorry.
Will re-roll with v4 now.
