 As I noted with 2/3 I would like to know what this extra complication is 
exactly needed for, and then whether we can't reuse the existing options.  
Once settled I think it would best be placed in the change description for 
posterity, so that discussions do not have to be chased like I had to with 
the original change (when we had a different policy on commit messages).
