Sometimes the message just have to be the way user wants it.
For instance, a template can contain "#" characters, or the message
must be kept as close to its original source as possible for reimport
reasons. Or maybe the user just copied a shell script including its
comments into the commit message for future reference.

I just happen to have a corporate template (for perforce messages, I
reuse it my git mirror repo) which contains "#" and at least one time
lost my bash comments in a commit.
