This sort of thing has vaguely come up before, and it was mentioned that you can just use a small script that calls git-filter-branch or git-rebase -i. It's easy to rewrite the commits you just pulled, having some feature that e.g. adds a custom message to the beginning of each of them would just impose an artificial limitation and overlap with existing (and more powerful) functionality.
