No, %(body) retains its historical usage as body+signature. If you think it's OK to change that.

We could either leave %(subject) with its historical behavior, or fix it to handle multi-line subjects. Although it's technically a regression to change it, I tend to think it is simply a bug, as it doesn't match what the rest of git (like "git log --format=%s") does.
