Remove commit title (first line of commit message) from the "body" of
commitdiff_plain view: it is present there already in format-patch
like Subject: header.

You seem to be assuming messages that follow git convention, but is it a
good assumption here?  E.g. is the first element of @[$co{'comment'}]
always known to be non blank?  is the second element guaranteed to be
empty?
