To match the parsing of commit objects, I would prefer to see
"subject" to mean "the first paragraph" (usually the first line
alone but that is purely from convention), but that probably is a
separate topic.

Good idea. I suspect pretty.c:format_subject can be reused here.

Should I fix regular 'subject' and 'body' as well, or just
the 'contents:' variants?
