Some error messages show up with an extra blank line, like this one:

    $ git commit -m foo
    unable to create temporary sha1 filename : Too many open files
    error: Error building trees
    $

Most of the callers of error() and similar functions in usage.c don't add a newline, but a few do, causing odd output like the above.

No tests for these; they're hopefully trivial. One of the edited messages was marked for translation. I'm not sure if changing it requires any work in po/.

  remove superfluous newlines in error messages
  remove blank filename in error message
