Perhaps instead of poposed patch we should simply put empty lines to emphasize that we are on no branch:

        # Please enter the commit message for your changes. Lines starting
        # with '#' will be ignored, and an empty message aborts the commit.
        #
        # Not currently on any branch.
        #
        # Untracked files:
        #   (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
