Good question.  The answer depends on whether we want to keep it
maintained.

Since this is not meant to be a general-purpose API, I thought it
simplest to document it in the commit message and let future commit
messages describe the purpose of future changes.  We are not
approaching any limit on the length of a commit object, after all.
