"There is no downside" is especially true in the modern world post
v2.1, where get_commit_buffer() is what everybody has to go through
to access this information. I would have been very hesitant to
accept a patch like this one if we didn't do that clean-up, as a
stray codepath could have just done "commit->buffer" and segfaulted
or said "ah, there is no message", neither of which is satisfactory.
Thanks.
