Is there a way to test for the "Initial commit" message in the commit

You can do "git commit --dry-run", which produces the template on
stdout.

That should be good enough for our purposes here, as it's the same code
that produces the text that goes into the editor template. If you really
wanted to test what the editor sees, you could do something like:

  GIT_EDITOR='cat >editor-input' git commit

but I don't think it's worth the trouble.
