That's reasonable. I guess I was thinking about cases where one does
several commits with `identical' log messages by hand. In that case,
the spacing might get a little screwed up, but it still looks like one
commit. I'm not positive that kind of fuzz is a good idea, though.
Anyway, if someone finds it useful, it's easy enough to add.
