You could try something like this:

diff --git a/contrib/emacs/git.el b/contrib/emacs/git.el
index 3c37d0d..e314c44 100644
--- a/contrib/emacs/git.el

       (setq font-lock-keywords (font-lock-compile-keywords git-log-edit-font-lock-keywords))
+      (setq paragraph-separate (concat (regexp-quote git-log-msg-separator) "$\\|Author: \\|Date: \\|Merge: \\|Signed-off-by: \\|\f\\|[ 	]*$"))
       (setq buffer-file-coding-system coding-system)
       (re-search-forward (regexp-quote (concat git-log-msg-separator "\n")) nil t))))
