For git commits, you should use the format:

$subject

$body

Git treats the text up to the first newline as the subject of the
commit and many tools are designed around that expectation.

Refer to the "DISCUSSION" section of the git commit manpage:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-commit.html#_discussion

The SubmittingPatches document also includes some helpful advice.
This document is primarily designed for those submitting patches to
the git project, but it's got a lot of good advice.
