These two commits change the longstanding behaviour. It is hard to tell if
the existing behaviour is something people who use commit log message

be improved (in which case nobody will be inconvenienced with your patch).
They need to be explained a bit better why these changes are needed.

I forgot this in my first mail: Being one of the poeple that in general 
shares Boris' sense of annoyance, I'm voting in favor of his patch [1/2] 
(or mine, if it is any better), but not [2/2].

For any poeple that might be inconvenienced by the patch there is a 
trivial one-time fix: Strip whitespaces from their template. Because of 
this, I believe it is OK to change the long-standing behavior in this case.
