I said in the log message when applying your version:
    We even stripped "#" lines from messages given this way:
        git commit -m "# Message starting with a hash-mark"
    which was argurably a bug.
But I wonder if people are using a workflow like this:
	$ cp $company_template my_message
        $ edit my_message
        $ git commit -F my_message

To them, this change is a regression, as $company_template may have had insn like "# Here you describe your changes..." and the workflow relied on the current behaviour of stripping them.
