I've also considered something along that line, but:
(1) I think this 'confusion' is only because you are futzing
with a project that deals with git-fetch and friends and
not a general problem.
(2) With "HEAD is now at xxxxx..." prefix, even two characters
are precious to fit the title of the commit on a single
line.
With these in mind, do you still want to do this?
