[PATCH 5/5] Skip blank lines when matching <commit>^{/foo}

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
Date: Jun 29, 2016, 14:15 UTC
Message-ID: <7cebdcd80a93d1604258e9dc9cb286cd6ba97ba8.1467209576.git.johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
In-Reply-To: <cover.1467209576.git.johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

When trying to match a pattern in the commit subject, simply skip leading blank lines in the commit message. This is consistent with the pretty-printing machinery: it silently ignores leading blank lines in the commit object's body.
