I have a script where I currently do this ala:

GIT_EDITOR="git -c trailer.closes.ifExists=replace interpret-trailers \
        --trailer 'Closes: #$PR [via git-merge-pr]' --in-place" \
git commit --quiet --amend

But I think it could be a good addition to porcelain. (interpret-trailers still feels hard to drive by a script...)
