These one-line titles are shown to help you identify the commit to futz with,
not to help you review them. After all, you see only titles here
without the body
of the log message [*1*].

Besides, if the "breakage" in the title were not just an extra
whitespace but some
control characters that take the terminal into an insane state, we
should sanitize
the title we'd show here for identification purposes, so "show the
title as-is" is not
a good idea to begin with.

So, NAK.

[Footnote]
*1* ... and if majority of your commits have a single-liner titles, I cannot
imagine how these logs can be useful to its consumers (i.e. those who
use "git show" after identifying an old commit that broke things using
"git bisect" or "git blame").

A leading whitespace in such a "git log" output would be the least of your
problems in such a history, I would have to say.
