## Overwrite Null Commit Messages There are cases (such as when creating a new, empty snippet on bitbucket before they deprecated mercurial repositories) where you could create a new repo with a single commit in it, but the message would be null. Then, when attempting to convert this repository to a git repo and pushing to a new host, the git push would fail with an error like this: error: a NUL byte in commit log message not allowed To get around this, you may provide a string that will be used in place of a null byte in commit messages. To use the plugin, add --plugin overwrite_null_messages="" This will use the default commit message `""`. Or to specify a different commit message, you may pass this in at the command line like so: --plugin overwrite_null_messages="use this message instead"
