[PATCH] log-tree: always use return value of strbuf_detach()

strbuf_detach() has been returning a pointer to a buffer even for empty strbufs since 08ad56f3f0 ("strbuf: always return a non-NULL value from strbuf_detach", 2012-10-18). Use that feature in show_log() instead of having it handle empty strbufs specially.

The patched code was added one day earlier, by ddf333f66c ("pretty:
prepare notes message at a centralized place", 2012-10-17).
