The commit message is not "part of the SHA" but it is part of the content that 
defines the SHA-1.

I guess in your case, you would rather have an empty commit message and attach 
the real message as a commit note.

Speaking for myself, I actually like it that the entire metadata is part of the 
commit object, even the commit message. It makes the whole thing more reliable: 
one cannot claim that the commit does one thing on one day, and the next day 
all of a sudden claim that the commit does something completely different. 
Git's just really consistent the way it is.

Ciao,
Johannes
