Even though I coded this, I am not sure what use scenarios would benefit
from this option, so the description is unnecessarily negative at this

The expected use case of this is to write supporting explanation for
the commit that does not belong to the commit log message proper
when (or after) you create the commit, and include it in your patch
submission. But if you can plan ahead and write it down, there may
not be a good reason not to write it in your commit message, and if
you can't, you can always edit the output of format-patch before
sending it out, so the practical value of this option is somewhat
dubious, unless your workflow is broken.
