This sort of thing has vaguely come up before, and it was mentioned
that you can just use a small script that calls git-filter-branch or
git-rebase -i.

It's easy to rewrite the commits you just pulled, having some feature
that e.g. adds a custom message to the beginning of each of them would
just impose an artificial limitation and overlap with existing (and
more powerful) functionality.
