Shield Wall Fighting - how would you model it?

One thing that seems to be missing is rules about using long weapons in confined spaces. My understanding is that long swords (that is, non-shortswords) pose problems in close-order fighting because you don't have clearance to use them properly. Not because the enemy is too close (though they might be) but because your friends are too close.

Is there anything for that? I imagine such rules would also work for dense woods and narrow passageways.
