git-commit with -t or -F -e uses content of user-supplied file as initial value for commit msg in editor. There is no guarantee, that this file ends with newline - it depends on file content and editor used to create file (some editors append and hide last newline from user while others do not). When --status (default) is supplied, additional comment is placed after template content. If template file ended with newline this results in additional line being appended (which may be unexpected e.g. when last line of template is a comment). On the other hand, first line of status should never be concatenated to last line of template file. Append newline before status _only_ if template/logfile didn't end with one already. This way content of template is exactly the way user intended and there's no chance, that line of status will merge with last line of template. Remove unnecessary premature cleanup of commit message, which was implemented for -F, but not for -t.
