bug#14382: 24.3.50; Strange display bug

[Richard Stallman]

    Not at all. The "Format" header value is translated into the first line 
    of the commit message. The "Author" header value is translated into the 
    "--author" argument passed to the VCS program.

I start to understand now.

Is there a difference between "the first line of the commit message"
and "whatever I would previously have written on the first line
of *vc-log*?
