[PATCH 2/2] commit-template: distinguish status information unconditionally

[Kaartic Sivaraam <kaarticsivaraam91196@gmail.com>]

The commit template adds the status information without
adding a new line to distinguish them in the absence
of optional parts. This results in difficulty in interpreting
it's content, specifically for inexperienced users.

Unconditionally, add new lines to separate the status message
from the other parts of the commit-template to make it more
readable.

 In trying to make the test independent of the previous test,
 it got a bit long. Hope it's not doing anything that shouldn't
 be done.

 In case you would wonder, the 'git reset' line is to remove 
 the files that were staged in previous test. I've done it in
 the same motive that lead to a bigger test.
