Isn't it zero or _one_ blank line? Why more then one? would be it useful? surely is slower to parse.

multi lines titles are allowed? never saw one of them.

Why? this is necessary only to disambiguate muti (non blank) lines titles, but as Junio pointed out distinction between log title and log message is only in the Porcelain, not encoded in git. So the Porcalain is going to show _one_line title if any an the remaining stuff in the log message.
