If the commit fails for any reason we return a 400 error with a non-specific
error message. Possible causes for a failed commit include:
- the `file_path` contained `/../` (attempted directory traversal);
- the new file contents were identical to the current file contents, i.e. the
  user tried to make an empty commit;
- the branch was updated by a Git push while the file edit was in progress.

Currently gitlab-shell has a boolean return code, preventing GitLab from specifying the error.
