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.
