You can have a bunch of comments and empty lines, even with spaces, and git will still abort if you don't have anything else in the commit message. An EOL/newline character shouldn't cause the commit to continue.

There are overrides to make empty messages or including otherwise-comments, but yeah... you have to do such things rather explicitly. No way you can do it by accident.

  But none accept a single newline as a message while at the same time rejecting truly empty messages.
