How can I customize git revert template? e.g.,

ˋˋˋsh
git config revert.template ~/.config/git/template

I see no way to customize this message. Your only choices seem to be

1. This default
2. The “reference” style using `--reference`

So there doesn’t seem to be a template alternative here.

Can git support the feature to customize template? Is it possible?

TIA!
