I don't think making the "cheat-sheet" insn longer by offering more
choices is a good idea. These are messages for lazy and busy people.
Wouldn't it work better to just get rid of the longer form and say
something like:
... here is how to tell your name to git (existing message) ...
After doing the above, run
git commit --amend --reset-author
to fix the identity used for this commit.
