Wow, that went fast. I should ask for help more often. :-)
I haven't looked at it yet, short of time as usual, but I will.

I remember that patch. Hmm, I kind of like the output
compact, but that's my personal preference of course, so I
don't think I really object. I also remember I found many
more places that don't have this blank line too, not just
pull/push, and I am a symmetry addict, but I try to quit.
Perhaps another way could be to write an xml printer so that
all commands could automatically take the --xml-output option.
But I have never used xml, this is just an idea, and it would
take much more work to implement. A crazy idea is to check
if the first line of the long comment looks like a summary
line and only then insert a blank line. A far better idea
is I go to sleep now :-)
