[PATCH] commit: cope with scissors lines in commit message

["SZEDER Gábor" <szeder@ira.uka.de>]

The diff and submodule shortlog appended to the commit message template
by 'git commit --verbose' are not stripped when the commit message
contains an indented scissors line.

When cleaning up a commit message with 'git commit --verbose' or
'--cleanup=scissors' the code is careful and triggers only on a pure
scissors line, i.e. a line containing nothing but a comment character, a
space, and the scissors cut.  This is good, because people can embed
scissor lines in the commit message while using 'git commit --verbose',
and the text they write after their indented scissors line doesn't get
deleted.

While doing so, however, the cleanup function only looks at the first
line matching the scissors pattern and if it doesn't start at the
beginning of the line, then the function just returns without performing
any cleanup.  This is bad, because a "real" scissors line added by 'git
commit --verbose' might follow, and in that case the diff and submodule
shortlog get included in the commit message.

Don't bail out if a scissors line doesn't start at the beginning of the
line, but keep looking for a non-indented scissors line to fix this.
