I think I still like your other proposal:
[branch] created b930c4a: "i386: Snib the sprock"
And here is the patch, since it was sitting uncommitted in my working
tree. Feel free to ignore.
BTW, we should apply _something_ since what is currently in next has a
bug: it lacks a space between "DETACHED commit" and the hash:
Created DETACHED commit4fde0d0 (subject line)
-- >8 --
reformat informational commit message
When committing, we print a message like:
Created [DETACHED commit] <hash> (<subject>) on <branch>
The most useful bit of information there (besides the
detached status, if it is present) is which branch you made
the commit on. However, it is sometimes hard to see because
the subject dominates the line.
Instead, let's put the most useful information (detached
status and commit branch) on the far left, with the subject
(which is least likely to be interesting) on the far right.
We'll use brackets to offset the branch name so the line is
not mistaken for an error line of the form "program: some
sort of error". E.g.,:
[jk/bikeshed] created bd8098f: "reformat informational commit message"

Personally, I'm not overly fond of things like

since I find them hard to read without thinking a lot.
