Thanks for doing this.

Could I ask for a couple more things?  I would find it useful to have
format codes for the number of characters in the commit body.  Having
a code for the number of bytes in the commit body would also be
useful.  When reading commits in with Tcl, the number of characters is
more useful, but I can use the number of bytes (and I imagine others
would find that useful).

Paul.
