All of that is fine and usual.\r\n\r\nHowever, unlike before, there's no empty line at the top of the buffer (where I would normallyu write the commit message). Instead the comments start at the very first line, and I have to hit `C-o` a couple of times to move them away.\r\n\r\nUpon some investigation, I've found that the empty line at the top is getting deleted after the buffer is created. I can tell that happens because the buffer is marked as modified, and hitting `undo` restores the empty line.\r\n\r\nI'm not aware of any hooks or advices I may have that might be causing this, so I thought I'd report it here. Do you have any suggestions on where I could look?"}}
