I'd personally hate to see something like that at the top and then have to save it. I always add my text to the top of the message, and all the pre-made messages for me are at the top (ie the kinds you get with "git commit --amend", where the top of the thing is the old message). That said, I might well agree with this approach if we made the marker line be the *last* line of the message, ie make it be something that ends with (ignoring empty whitespace at the end, of course, since those are invisible in most editors): # Remove this line to keep all comment lines or something like that. That still keeps the question about whitespace cleanups. But if it's just about whitespace or no whitespace, then a simple "--verbatim" flag would work.
