Yikes.  That is a quite ancient breakage.

The funny thing is that we did address the same breakage in 25206778
(commit: don't start editor if empty message is given with -m,
2013-05-25), but didn't notice that there are other breakages of the
same nature.

I think all message.len check can and should be have_option_m
instead.

 - The one in the first hunk is a fix for the issue that "-m ''" is
   ignored and we read from use_message etc., which is the original
   issue in this thread.

 - The second one is a fix for your "git commit -m '' -F f" example
   that does not error out.

 - The last one is a fix for "git -c commit.template=f commit -m ''"
   that still uses the template file 'f'.
