I assume this means you're preserving historical behavior when adding
a sign-off to a commit with empty description (which is a good thing),
but what is that behavior?  Is it a deliberate choice or something
that developed by default?

This is too much nesting for my small mind to keep track of.  Am I
correct in imagining the effect is the same as the following?

        has_footer = has_conforming_footer(...)

        if (!has_footer && msgbuf->buf[i] != '\n')
                strbuf_splice(...);     /* add blank line */
