The empty line between commit subject and body is neither part of the
subject nor of the body. That means that the above-mentioned expectation
was incorrect.

Unless you somehow allow empty commit messages (Git does not, unless you
play games with low-level commands), the second '+' is unnecessarily
conditional. Therefore "%s%n%+b" *might* do what you intended (I would not
know, because that information was missing from the report).
