In an intermediate iteration of my rebase--helper patches, I
accidentally generated commits with more than one empty line
between the header and the commit message. When using
find_commit_subject() to show the oneline, it turned up empty, even
if the output of `git show --format=%s` looked fine.

Turned out that the pretty-printing machinery helpfully skipped any
blank lines before the commit message.

In the first iteration of this patch, I failed to notice that
the skip_empty_lines() function used by the pretty printing (which is
declared static, and therefore I originally did not use it in order to
keep the patch as minimal as possible) skips also blank lines.

To make things truly consistent, I now just make the skip_empty_lines()
function public, and then use it.


Johannes Schindelin (2):
  Make the skip_empty_lines() function public
  Make find_commit_subject() more robust
