Currently the only way around long lines of code is to copy/paste it into Notepad++ in order to read everything without needing to do the wrist-twist to see the same code in Git Extensions.

We would have to do what visual studio does. Show a wrap arrow at the end
of the line that wrapped.

What needs to be done to implement this? Is there some built-in way to wrap to the window?
What needs to be done to implement this?
Answering this question is part of implementing it :) If you want to take a look at it and have specific questions, just shout.
That said, we use the ICSharpCode.TextEditor
control for rendering code samples. It doesn't support word wrap. So adding word wrap would likely require replacing the control or doing a lot of work on it, neither of which are small undertakings.
Sorry, I missed this reply when you made it.
Is there any reason not to use AvalonEdit instead?
AvalonEdit could not be used in 2.x because it is WPF and not WinForms (required for Mono compatibility).
For the future, something else than WinForms should be used. WPF is a candidate, but something that supports multiplatform would be better. Switch editor is likely not easily done either...
