I tend to do "commit -q -m i", not a big deal for two more keystrokes. My initial version allowed "git init /path/to/workdir" too so it might be ambiguous for optional message. So all vote for "Initial commit"? Dynamic message seems overkill because most of the cases, this is a throw away repository.
