It doesn't solve a problem so much as open up a minor new feature (the
ability to have all commit messages in one's preferred language). i would
personally like to see it kept (mainly for future compatibility with
libfossil, which doesn't require an initial checkin ;), but not as the
default. The default should stay as it historically has been - creating the
hard-coded empty commit.

Once i'm back from shopping i'll work on a patch which reverts to the
previous default behaviour and adds a new flag for those who want to
create/play with an empty repo (which still likely has open corner cases
involving RID 0).
