FWIW, I never found a good solution for this, but it turns out it isn't that difficult to mimic the git request-pull output in a script and many of the git commands you need have mechanisms to limit their line lengths.

@vegard thanks, but the trick is that I don't want to affect git's diffstat output outside of the request-pull command, and if memory serves the diff.statGraphWidth didn't seem to apply to the request-pull output, but I may be misremembering that since I tried it last.

It turns out writing your own replacement has other advantages (passing '-wX' to the shortlog output, automatically adjusting the commit subject wrapping in the "body" of the PR, etc.).
