Jim, it looks like vc-dwim could use an improvement when targeting git.
There are enough places in git tools that expect the summary line to be
separated by a blank line from the rest of the commit message; otherwise
the entire ChangeLog entry gets concatenated into a single long commit
summary, which gets rather hard to read when browsing git history.
