It still is curious how a malformed line was created in the first

create such a commit, but if it is something that is commonly used
(e.g. "git commit"), others may suffer from the same and the tool
needs to be tightened a bit.

I already happened to see one like that, and it was clearly imported
through remote-hg. I've not been able to reproduce though, and the
parser in git-fast-import seemed already robust enough to me to not
allow this kind of messed-up line. I will see if I can find some time
to reproduce/investigate this deeper.
