The updated log message is much better than the old iteration, where
the "empty message aborts" was called "irrelevant" when it is actively
"wrong". Now we call it "wrong".
Let's update the title of the commit to match, e.g.
commit: tweak cleanup hint when --allow-empty-message is in effect
or something along that line.

Local convention in this file seems to be that multi-line ?:
expressions are folded with ? and : operators at the beginning, not
at the end, of the lines, e.g. I see this construct in the same file.
reflog_msg = is_from_cherry_pick(whence)
? "commit (cherry-pick)"
: is_from_rebase(whence)
? "commit (rebase)"
: "commit";
So, let's mimick and make the above more like this:
const char *hint_cleanup_all = allow_empty_message
? _("Please enter the commit message for your changes."
" Lines starting\nwith '%c' will be ignored.\n")
: _("Please enter the commit message for your changes."
" Lines starting\nwith '%c' will be ignored, and an empty"
" message aborts the commit.\n");

Perfect.
