tests: write commit message using file I/O

Python 2.7 will print() \x94\x5c\x0a whereas Python 3 will
print() \xc2\x94\x5c\x0a. Why, I'm not sure. It probably has to
do with print() being Unicode aware on Python 3 and Python
attempting some kind of encoding before emitting the output.

This difference results in a different bytes making it to the
commit message and the JSON output varying. We work around
this by writing bytes to a commit message file.

# extdiff will set the parent and child to a single file if there is
# only one change. If there are multiple changes, directories will be
# set. diff(1) does not cope particularly with directories; instead we
# do the recursion ourselves and diff each file individually.

	# diffing against the repository root to produce plumbable
	# output. This is antisocial.
