So, the updated code mistook the body of the message that is not a
sign-off, because there is a colon on the line, the line does not
begin with the colon, and everything before the colon is an alnum or
a whitespace, so squashed the paragraph break before the real
trailer block and the last line of the body and made it a body-less
commit log message?
This might be a good demonstration of why it is a mistaken design to
allow whitespaces, which may steer us toward fixing the documentation?
I dunno. What do others think?
