I would have expected that this feature would not change anything
other than replacing the constant string *body we unconditionally
print with the log message of the empty commit at the tip, so from
that expectation, I was hoping that a patch looked nothing more than
this:

plus a newly written function get_cover_from_commit(). Why does
this patch need to change a lot more than that, I have to wonder.
This is totally unrelated, but I wonder if it makes sense to do
something similar for branch.description, too. If the user has a
meaningful description prepared with "git branch --edit-desc", it is
somewhat insulting to the user to still add "*** BLURB HERE ***".
