As far as the default goes, I think the current one is OK, provided
there is an option to customize it (e.g., like your patch). Right now it
is just nonsensical to random users ("What? What in the world is
~/git-shell-commands?"). But once it is customizable, the main consumer
of the message is admins who say "What? Why isn't the git-shell I just
set up working?". The current message helps them diagnose the problem,
and when they are ready to accept connections from random users, they'll
want something customizable anyway.
