commit: always initialize commit message
    
    When parsing a commit, we will treat all bytes left after parsing
    the headers as the commit message. When no bytes are left, we
    leave the commit's message uninitialized. While uncommon to have
    a commit without message, this is the right behavior as Git
    unfortunately allows for empty commit messages.
    
    Given that this scenario is so uncommon, most programs acting on
    the commit message will never check if the message is actually
    set, which may lead to errors. To work around the error and not
    lay the burden of checking for empty commit messages to the
    developer, initialize the commit message with an empty string
    when no commit message is given.
