The commit template adds the status information without
adding a new line to distinguish them in the absence
of optional parts. This results in difficulty in interpreting
it's content, specifically for inexperienced users.
Unconditionally, add new lines to separate the status message
from the other parts of the commit-template to make it more
readable.

When we pick another commit's message, we die() immediately
if we find that it's empty and we are not going to run an
editor (i.e., when running "-C" instead of "-c"). However,
this check is redundant and harmful.
It's redundant because we will already notice the empty
message later, after we would have run the editor, and die
there (just as we would for a regular, not "-C" case, where
the user provided an empty message in the editor).
It's harmful for a few reasons:
1. It does not respect --allow-empty-message. As a result,
a "git rebase -i" cannot "pick" such a commit. So you
cannot even go back in time to fix it with a "reword"
or "edit" instruction.
2. It does not take into account other ways besides the
editor to modify the message. For example, "git commit
-C empty-commit -m foo" could take the author
information from empty-commit, but add a message to it.
There's more to do to make that work correctly (and
right now we explicitly forbid "-C with -m"), but this
removes one roadblock.
3. The existing check is not enough to prevent segfaults.
We try to find the "\n\n" header/body boundary in the
commit. If it is at the end of the string (i.e., no
body), _or_ if we cannot find it at all (i.e., a
truncated commit object), we consider the message
empty. With "-C", that's OK; we die in either case. But
with "-c", we continue on, and in the case of a
truncated commit may end up dereferencing NULL+2.

git config <key> <value>
uses

These fail under GETTEXT_POISON=YesPlease because the poison editor

When "git commit" was rewritten in C (v1.5.4-rc0~78^2~30,
2007-11-08), a subtle bug in --template was introduced. If the
file named by a --template parameter is missing, previously git
would error out with a message:
Commit template file does not exist.
but in the C version the --template parameter gets ignored and
the default template is used.
t7500 has two tests for this case which would have caught it, except
that with the default $EDITOR, the commit message template is left
unmodified, causing 'git commit' to error out and the test to
succeed.

Change git-commit(1) to accept the --allow-empty-message option
to allow a commit with an empty message. This is analogous to the
existing --allow-empty option which allows a commit that records
no changes. As these are mainly for interoperating with foreign SCM
systems, and are not meant for normal use, ensure that "git commit -h"
does not talk about them.

Commit dbd0f5c7 (Files given on the command line are relative to $cwd,
2008-08-06) introduced parse_options_fix_filename() as a quick fix for
filename arguments used in the parse options API.
git-commit was still broken. This means
git commit -F log -t temp
in a subdirectory would make git think the log message should be taken
from temp instead of log.
This is because parse_options_fix_filename() calls prefix_filename()
which uses a single static char buffer to do its work. Making two calls
with two char pointers causes the pointers to alias. To prevent
aliasing, we duplicate the string returned by
parse_options_fix_filename().

The "--signoff" test case in t7500-commit.sh was setting VISUAL while
using -F -, which indeed tested that the editor is not spawned with -F.
However, having it there was confusing, since there was no obvious reason
to the casual reader for it to be there.
This commits removes the setting of VISUAL from the --signoff test, and
adds in t7501-commit.sh a dedicated test case, where the rest of tests for
-F are.

Many test scripts assumed that they will start in a 'trash' subdirectory
that is a single level down from the t/ directory, and referred to their
test vector files by asking for files like "../t9999/expect". This will
break if we move the 'trash' subdirectory elsewhere.
To solve this, we earlier introduced "$TEST_DIRECTORY" so that they can
refer to t/ directory reliably. This finally makes all the tests use
it to refer to the outside environment.
With this patch, and a one-liner not included here (because it would
contradict with what Dscho really wants to do):

all the tests still pass, but we would want extra sets of eyeballs on this
type of change to really make sure.

When running "git commit -F file" and "git tag -F file" from a
subdirectory, we should take it as relative to the directory we started
from, not relative to the top-level directory.
This adds a helper function "parse_options_fix_filename()" to make it more
convenient to fix this class of issues. Ideally, parse_options() should
support a new type of option, "OPT_FILENAME", to do this uniformly, but
this patch is meant to go to 'maint' to fix it minimally.
One thing to note is that value for "commit template file" that comes from
the command line is taken as relative to $cwd just like other parameters,
but when it comes from the configuration varilable 'commit.template', it
is taken as relative to the working tree root as before. I think this
difference actually is sensible (not that I particularly think
commit.template itself is sensible).

This patch changes every occurrence of "! git" -- with the meaning
that a git call has to gracefully fail -- into "test_must_fail git".
This is useful to
- make sure the test does not fail because of a signal,
e.g. SIGSEGV, and
- advertise the use of "test_must_fail" for new tests.

The rule is this: if the last line already contains the sign off by the
current committer, do nothing. If it contains another sign off, just
add the sign off of the current committer. If the last line does not
contain a sign off, add a new line before adding the sign off.

The Signed-off-by: line contained a spurious timestamp. The reason was
a call to git_committer_info(1), which automatically added the
timestamp.
Instead, fmt_ident() was taught to interpret an empty string for the
date (as opposed to NULL, which still triggers the default behavior)
as "do not bother with the timestamp", and builtin-commit.c uses it.
