Fix overflowing commit messages

Wouldn't this be even better ?

.description PRE {
    overflow: auto;
}

all the pages you're talking about are generated by the cvs.module, not project.module. unfortunately, there's no cvs.css file, so the patch doesn't really make sense on its own. however, i don't think it's a good idea to add cvs.module-specific CSS code to project.css. either we should fix this on drupal.org via the bluebeach theme, or we should add a cvs.css file and put this there. for now, i'm in favor of fixing it via a cvs.css, which is why i'm moving this issue to the cvs.module's issue queue... but, we therefore need a new patch for this...

also, not having tested any of this, i'm more in favor of wrapping the text than adding a scrollbar.

Just noticed that http://drupal.org/cvs adds <style type="text/css"> pre { white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word; }</style> to the

Which is similar to the solution I proposed at http://drupal.org/node/181053:

pre {
white-space: pre-wrap;       /* css-3 */
white-space: -moz-pre-wrap;  /* Mozilla, since 1999 */
white-space: -pre-wrap;      /* Opera 4-6 */
white-space: -o-pre-wrap;    /* Opera 7 */
word-wrap: break-word;       /* Internet Explorer 5.5+ */
}

I don't know enough of project* inner workings to propose where this should be put, hence not a patch.

i've committed the css from #4 to cvs.css, patched the file and tested on a local install. it all worked wonderfully, except it doesn't seem to be working on d.o, even after clearing css/browser caches :(

anybody have any suggestions?

I also ported and committed this fix to Version Control API's Commit Log.

Someone from the Infrastructure team probably needs to look at this to figure out why the Drupal.org theme is removing these styles.

Perhaps you could move this to fixed (since a fix has been committed) and reopen http://drupal.org/node/197084, moving it to the Infrastructure project?

good suggestion.
