I'm not sure when I would get to doing this, but for LyX's Git VC
backend, would it be OK if I added support for multi-line commit
messages?

I could format it similar to how Vim does it by default:

- Subject line should be 50 characters. The user could enter more
  characters, but the additional characters will be marked in a
  different color, signaling that the recommended 50 has been exceeded.

- There should be a blank line between the subject line and the body.

- Wrap the body of the commit message to 72 characters.

I'm not familiar with LyX's code. I'm guessing I should do as much as
possible in the VC abstraction class, so that current and future
backends could also optionally choose to have such features?
