What kind of help text would you want to see?

Maybe something like this:

  GIT: Quoted message body below.
  GIT: Feel free to trim down the quoted text
  GIT: to only relevant portions.

As "GIT:" portions are ignored when parsed by `git send-email`.

That's an option, but in the context of email, I think these
instructions are not necessary.

In an ideal world that would be true. But in the real world I think evidence of many messages to this mailing list containing full quotes suggests it might be helpful. I'd actually argue that the message be more forceful, making it a suggestion/request to trim rather than simply telling the user that it's allowed.
