Since the commit probably has a different id in Git's main repo,
here is the description of the problematic commit 904b36b:
```
gitk: add text wrapping preferences
Add a new preference "wrapdefault" which allows enabling char/word wrap.
Impacts all text in the ctext widget for which no other preference exists.
Also make the (existing) preference "wrapcomment" configurable graphically.
Its setting impacts only the "comment" part of the ctext widget.

And the likely problematic section of the diff is:
```

```
Hopefully, this will make it easier to find for people.
