This test attempts to verify that a commit in "verbatim" mode, when
supplied a commit template, produces a commit in which the commit
message matches exactly the template that was supplied. But, since the
commit operation appends additional instructions for the user as
comments in the commit buffer, which would cause the comparison to fail,
this test decided to compare only the first three lines (the length of
the template) of the resulting commit message to the original template
file.
This has two problems.
1. It does not allow the template to be lengthened or shortened
without also modifying the number of lines that are considered
significant (i.e. the argument to 'head -n').
2. It will not catch a bug in git that causes git to append additional
lines to the commit message.
So, let's use the --no-status option to 'git commit' which will cause
git to refrain from appending the lines of instructional text to the
commit message. This will allow the entire resulting commit message to
be compared against the expected value.
