The attribute is useful for creating auto-updating specfiles.  It is
limited by the underlying function format_commit_message(), though.
E.g. currently there is no placeholder for git-describe like output,
and expanded specfiles can't contain NUL bytes.  That can be fixed
in format_commit_message() later and will then benefit users of
git-log, too.

Interesting.  I however wonder if "specfile" is a good name for
this attribute, although I admit I do not think of anything
better offhand.

"releasefile", perhaps?
