Actually, that's what's printed in the commit message, so any change
would have to be put there and that would break backwards compatibility
for new tools that might want to use it.
On an unrelated note, please don't start a new thread by replying to an
old message. It's very confusing to follow and people may not see your
message. This time it was doubly so because the next mail in my inbox is
a patch for git-format-patch, to which I thought you replied.
