Not sure if you mean the git commit "title" and the "body", but the way git works is that the first line is the summary/title and then a blank line, then the body/description.

I really like this approach, a nice short message with a summary, followed by a longer description in the "body".

One feature I really like from GitHub is you can set an option when merging a Pull Requests that when merging the commit title will be the Pull Request title, and the body of the PR as the message.
