In the commit dialog Egit uses a placeholder for the Change-Id
("I0000000000000000000000000000000000000000") which it replaces later
with the real Change-Id. Some users thought that this placeholder also
works on the commandline, but of course there the replacement wasn't
done. As result of this there were lots of changes with this
placeholder Change-Id (as from the format it's a valid Change-Id) and
users got confused about updating each other changes. To prevent this
Gerrit rejects this placeholder Change-Id as invalid. However the
message for this was inconsistent with the message that is used for
other invalid Change-Ids.
Also all validations should be done in CommitValidators, but the check
for the Egit placeholder Change-Id was still done in ReceiveCommits.
Move the check to the right place.
Change-Id: I11c3c1a2d0023c4852d2fa6ec3a54a1245030377

Gerrit Code Review
Gerrit is a code review and project management tool for Git based projects.
Objective
Gerrit makes reviews easier by showing changes in a side-by-side display, and allowing inline comments to be added by any reviewer.
Gerrit simplifies Git based project maintainership by permitting any authorized user to submit changes to the master Git repository, rather than requiring all approved changes to be merged in by hand by the project maintainer.
