[PATCH] Allow multiple -m options to git-commit.

From: Shawn Pearce <spearce@spearce.org>
Date: May 29, 2006, 08:45 UTC
Message-ID: <20060529084549.GA29500@spearce.org>

I find it very convenient to be able to supply multiple paragraphs of text on the command line with a single git-commit call. This change permits multiple -m/--message type options to be supplied to git-commit with each message being added as its own paragraph of text in the commit message.

The -m option is still not permitted with -c/-C/-F nor are multiple occurrences of these options permitted.
