I completely understand (1) so that is enough reason to not consider
visual-line-mode.  I used to have the same constraint when using one of
my handheld units...

However, I don't really understand what you are saying in point (2).
What is "it" in "not sure _it_ will work"?  If you are referring to
visual-line-mode, it only affects the display on the screen (for text
buffers) and has absolutely no impact on version control or any tool
that works with the underlying file.
