Subject: Updating the commit message for reverts

Hi,

I work on the Gerrit team and I would like to change the default
behavior for suggested commit messages for Reverts.
Currently, if the user is trying a change called '"Revert "change X"',
the suggested commit message would be 'Revert "Revert "Change X""'
which is silly, since sometimes users want to revert the same change
many times.

The suggestion is to change the behavior to "Revert^N" instead of
multiple Reverts one after another.

I'm happy to change those things in Gerrit, but it would also be nice
if it were changed inside of Git.

What do you think?

Thanks!
