Commit 949af0684 ("branch: use ref-filter printing APIs", 2017-01-10) make `git branch -v` stops trimming end-whitespace in subject, and it stops treating next all-whitespace-line as an empty line.

To recover previous behavior, trim all whitespace at the end of first line, and treat all-white-space line as empty line

Sorry for the noise, after sending out v2,
I found that the body is calculated incorrectly.
