Description

In general tig doesn't wrap lines, in any view nor in details.
I've looked in the docs and there is no mention to wrapping options.

Research direction

Start by reviewing tig's documentation, which the issue says does not mention wrapping options, and then inspect the existing behavior in each view and in details. Done means long lines wrap in the intended views without horizontal scrolling and a configuration switch controls that behavior.
