When splitting a repository, running `git rebase -i --root` to reword the initial commit, Git dies with BUG: sequencer.c:795: root commit without message. Signed-off-by: Todd Zullinger <tmz@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
The code path that triggered that "BUG" really does not want to run without an explicit commit message. In the case where we want to amend a commit message, we have an *implicit* commit message, though: the one of the commit to amend. Therefore, this code path should not even be entered.

Todd Zullinger reported this bug in https://public-inbox.org/git/20180615043111.GS3094@zaya.teonanacatl.net/: when calling
git rebase --rootand trying to reword the root commit's message, a BUG is reported.This fixes that.
IMO the bug fix is trivial enough to qualify for inclusion into v2.18.0, still.
