Subject: Extra pair of double quotes in "git commit" output?
Message-ID: <20081126064906.6117@nanako3.lavabit.com>

While I think the way recent "git commit" displays the commit you just created is very helpful, I often find the double quotes around the message unnecessary and sometimes even confusing.  I just made a commit and saw this message:

    [master]: created d9a5491: "Show "standard deviation" column in table 3"

The colon after the shortened commit SHA1 is enough to signal that it will talk about a different piece of information on the rest of the line.  I think the extra double quotes can be dropped safely:

    [master]: created d9a5491: Show "standard deviation" column in table 3

and it will make the output shorter by two columns, more pretty, and does not lose the clarity.
