[PATCH 4/5] git-svn: Provide a default "empty commit message" so the metadata is not the header

From: Alex Vandiver <alex@chmrr.net>
Date: Dec 2, 2009, 19:07 UTC
Message-ID: <1259780874-14706-5-git-send-email-alex@chmrr.net>
In-Reply-To: <1259780874-14706-1-git-send-email-alex@chmrr.net>

git-svn adds a trailing line of metadata to the commit message. If the commit message would otherwise be empty, this can lead to confusing display in `gitk` and `git log --oneline`. Thus, provide a no-op "(empty commit message)" message for the first line of such messages.
