Git considers "the summary" (displayed in short logs and things like
that) to be the concatenation of all lines until the first empty line.
I think this convention sucks (if you forget such an empty line,
it leads to ridiculously long "summaries", and it forces the addition
of an empty line at a spot where you don't always want one).
