From what I could get from this thread, I guess the current patch
stands something like the one below. I tried building it with the below
change, it seems to be having a little issue. I'm not sure why, it
seems to be working the other way round i.e., the message "No commits
yet on the branch" message is shown in the commit template and the
message "Initial commit" is shown when `git status` is invoked.

Also, let me know if any other change is required.
