I cannot agree to either reason.  It is _not_ a git specific header, so it 
does not belong in the commit header.

Also, I find it does not clutter the commit message _at all_, but adds 
information that the user might find useful.

Lastly, I cannot see _any_ reason why it should be _easier_ or _less error 
prone_ to put an "original commit id" into the commit header than into the 
commit body.
