I looked into do that, and it's a bit of a pain. Mike's patch is not quite
right, since it causes update-copyright to generate lines like this:
- Copyright (C) 2002, 2004-2007, 2009-2017 Free Software Foundation,
- Inc.
instead of like this:
+ Copyright (C) 2002, 2004-2007, 2009-2017 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
I guess because update-copyright mistakenly counts the continuation indent as
being part of the previous line when deciding whether to wrap. No doubt this
could be fixed, but there's a worse problem: the patch affects all files, even
those shared with Gnulib where it's better to avoid spurious changes. I suppose
we could start maintaining a list of the dozens of files imported from Gnulib
and/or elsewhere (currently we do not have such a list) and having
update-copyright skip files in that list, but this sounds like quite a bit of
hassle merely to support a preferred style of indentation for copyright notices.
