Subject: [PATCH] t3900: test rejecting log message with NULs correctly

It is not like that our longer term desire is to someday start accepting log messages with NULs in them, so it is wrong to mark a test that demonstrates "git commit" that correctly fails given such an input as "expect-failure". "git commit" should fail today, and it should fail the same way in the future given a message with NUL in it.
