Well, given that one change splits a line that is too long and the other one 
merges two lines that fit within the limit we could come up with a message 
that covers both :-) This is nitpicking though, it doesn't matter much. I have 
no issue with a patch that has some "while at it" portion anyway as long as 
it's minor (I personally include white space fixes in patches that touch the 
related code for instance).

Assuming you make no mistake, you can keep my ack :-) It will of course not 
cover the commit message then.
