It should be simply forbidden. The body part may have a line that is similar enough (i.e. starting with one of the command words and then a hexadecimal string) to confuse the sequencing machinery.

Other than that safety issue, I am not fundamentally opposed to the idea.

As to the implementation in 1/2, your unconditional use of ">%h" is wrong (you would end up including the commits from the left side).

Use '%m' instead of a hardcoded '>', perhaps?
