Ahhhh, OK, my previous message was talking aoubt completely different kind of scissors. Yes, what we take out of the log message editor will have these "git commit" generated comments and crufts, and we do need to strip them out ourselves.

Phillip, sorry for a confused message earlier, and please forget everything I said about scissors (I may have said worthy-to-listen things on other things, but I do not offhand recall).

Kristoffer, thanks for a review.
