We assume that the commit log messages are uninterpreted sequences of
non-NUL bytes (see Documentation/i18n.txt). However the assumption
does not really stand out and it's quite easy to set an editor to save
in a NUL-included encoding. Currently we silently cut at the first NUL
we see.
Make it more obvious that NUL is not welcome by refusing to create
such commits. Those who deliberately want to create them can still do
with hash-object.
