Fossil SCM

It would be nice to have the ability to show commit message with original formatting in the timeline. Exemple, to keep newline, tabulation and space. (like displaying it on in verbatim).

Right now, all commit messages are shown in a single line and it make it hard to read when there's a lot of long commit message.

Thanks

In this way you can use the wiki markup (with some html tags including <tt>) and lists.

• item 1
• item 2

Also, an option to display comment in a verbatim way would make it look ok when using the "fossil timeline" CLI command.
