Generate a message template when omitting the commit message (includes the same subject line that is used if a commit message is specified).

Also, use two newlines to separate the subject line from the message body as it looks much clearer that way.

Signed-off-by: Lukas Fleischer --- I fully agree that this is a bit hacky. I really dislike the current behaviour of adding a header if a message is specified on the command line and not adding anything if you use an editor.

This gets a +1 from me (untested), it is crazy SVN makes this so hard to do.

If anyone can come up with a better idea - suggestions welcome!
