If we supported multiple -m (presumably each becomes a single line?)
with internal fmt, I do not see how it would become less work.
$ git commit -w60 -m "This is my message." \
-m '' \
-m 'This is the body. Etc....'
looks more typing to me, even without the second line to force
the empty line between the summary and the body.
