Thanks.

I have a feeling that the translatable message has to say two
things, though.

 - Any junk below that cut marker will be removed;

 - Do not touch the cut marker, or you will mess up the commit log
   message.

Nobody seems to have brought up the latter in the discussion, but I
have a feeling that the users can do almost anything to break us and
it is better to be defensive for the users.

Perhaps phrase it something like this (the message is to be
translated, but not the marker)?

	# ------------------------ >8 ------------------------
        # Do not touch the cut-marker line above; everything below
        # will be removed.
