Superfluous line in displayed commit message

Currently, when the log window displays a commit message, it adds a blank line after the first line of the message.
For two reasons, this blank line should be removed:
- When people write a continuous multi-line message, it gets teared apart.
- When people manually insert the blank line (which is quite a standard [1][2][3] and seems to be expected by many Git tools), the additional line is superfluous (and will teach the people to break the standard).
