Description
How to reproduce
$ echo bla > bla.txt
$ git add bla.txt
$ git commit -m "Added bla"
$ git show
commit 5909f36187f2c0517e7ded48e58f13c845095343 (HEAD -> dev)
Author: Joerg Bornemann <joerg.bornemann@qt.io>

Added bla

So far, so good. Now I'm adding non-footer text right above the Change-Id:
$ git commit --amend
$ git show

Added bla

Change-Id: Ic7fbdfbc77328870ba91f5b83ffdbb132122c018
Suddenly I have two Change-Ids. And because I noticed the second id after pushing, I'm going to amend again and remove the last change id.
This will leave me with yet another second change id.
This bug is especially annoying as the sanity bot suggests "Empty lines between footers" for commit messages like:
