Sounds OK to me.

I didn't review the code in details, but I like the direction where
it's going. I'm not sure what's the best name for the configuration
option, but probably your proposal of "message" is good because it can
encompass many different cases (very detailed error messages, advices,
informative messages, ...).

And BTW, as the initial author of the push help message, I fully agree
that it is unnecessarily eating 3 lines of my terminal ;-). The
message is clearly targeted to newbies (but I do think it's very
helpfull to them).
