Notes (series):
    v3:
    • Review feedback: check more in the test by inspecting the
      proposed commit message.
    
      Link: https://lore.kernel.org/git/4c623fcf-01dd-4056-80c1-b3c860ab7f87@gmail.com/
    • Message:
      • Rewrite message now that we are testing something different
      • consistency with the other two messages (see previous)
    v2:
    • `strbuf_commented_addf` adds a newline, unlike the previous function.
       We need to remove a newline from the final `strbuf_addstr` with `This
       reverts commits` and add a newline to each of the other
       branches (`else if` and `else`).
