You may be fixated at the sha1 part of the message when you find this message annoying, but I disagree strongly. I always appreciate the assurance this message gives me that I counted the number of commits correctly, whether I say HEAD^^^^ or HEAD~7.
Showing the subject of the commit you are now at is very useful and I will be equally irritated as you do if it starts showing the subject of the commit I was at.
