Certainly not preferred by me. :-) I generally set textwidth=80 when I
work on the docs, just to keep the lines (and thus diffs) manageable,
but it varies wildly. If you want to wrap the lines, I heartily
endorse this.
I think the long lines do help a bit with the diffs, but to tell the
truth, I prefer shorter lines, sometimes, depending on the phase of the
moon, very short. I suspect there is some editor somewhere that isn't
much affected by long lines, because they do appear a lot.
