Compact commit template message
We recently let the user know explicitly that an empty
commit message will abort the commit. However, this adds yet
another line to the template; let's rephrase and re-wrap so
that this fits back on two lines.
This patch also makes the "fatal: empty commit message?"
warning a bit less scary, since this is now a "feature"
instead of an error. However, we retain the non-zero exit
status to indicate to callers that nothing was committed.
