Documentation/git-commit: rephrase the "initial-ness" of templates

The description of "commit -t <file>" said the file is used "as the
initial version" of the commit message, but in the context of an SCM,
"version" is a loaded word that can needlesslyl confuse readers.

Explain the purpose of the mechanism without using "version".

+	guide participants with some hints on what to write in the message

+	is given by other means, e.g. with the `-m` or `-F` options.
