Agreed, [ details removed ] that sounds perfect. And makes it easy to
get at if you want to with just "git cat-file commit" - without ever
really being visible to people who don't care. And having it visible
in the editor with '#' means that the user who does the merge gets to
see what actually ended up being put in there, along with the fact
that yes, it verified correctly.

So I think I really like that approach - it seems to solve all problems.
