Helper functions this_nth_commit_message and skip_nth_commit_message
replace the previous method of making the comment messages (such as
"This is the 2nd commit message:") aided by nth_string helper function.
This step was taken as a workaround to enabled translation of entire
sentences. However, doesn't change any text seen in English by the user,
except for string "The first commit's message is:" which was changed to
match the style of other instances.
If only the original were written as "This is the commit message
$N", you didn't have to do a lot of work like this, but such is
life. Thanks for working on this.
