This patch behaves as advertised with histedit -f, but I'm hitting an
unexpected error (got: object <sha1> not found) when using histedit -m
and saving an empty commit message.  On the main branch, under this
test Got will continue through the histedit and does not modify the
original commit message at all.  I think we'd want to make it work
like histedit -f will after this patch, where the histedit is left in
an interrupted state.

(sorry for the dup email stsp, this wasn't Cc'd to the list properly)
