What in the world do you mean?

When I actually commit this stuff, I'll have it all in a branch and
merge it into net-next's master using "git merge --no-ff" and then use
the merge commit to add this commit message test.

Every damn set of changes I've commited over the past few weeks have
used this technique, are you simply not paying attention?
