Didn't it also display this message:

  Nonempty second line in commit message
  Commit aborted; please see the file CONTRIBUTE

IOW, this is a cockpit error: the Emacs repository enforces the above
rule, and your commit didn't comply.  If you modify the commit log
entry so that the 2nd line is empty, everything will work as expected.

(It doesn't happen in your private repository because you didn't copy
there the Git hooks which enforce this and other rules.)
