I am already moderately negative on multiple -m so in the light
of it this one looks totally unneeded. You could do a number of
things:
$ git commit -m 'This is my message.
This is the first line of the message body.'
$ cat >L <<EOF
This is my message.
This is the first line of the message body.'
EOF
$ git commit -F L
$ fmt <<EOF
This is my message.
This is the first line of the message body.'
EOF
$ git commit -F L
We probably should allow "commit -F -" to read from the standard
input if we already don't, but that is about as far as I am
willing to go at this moment.
