In these cases I always fear that people are already parsing that mess
by considering the summary lines to be the ones not starting with
spaces, and now we go on and change it to be "better" by prefixing it
with "summary" and... break existing scripts.

Can we do this with a new option?

I.e. like --cvs-summary?
