Cool!  There should probably be some help text to encourage
trimming down the quoted text to only relevant portions.

What kind of help text would you want to see?

Maybe something like this:

  GIT: Quoted message body below.
  GIT: Feel free to trim down the quoted text
  GIT: to only relevant portions.

As "GIT:" portions are ignored when parsed by `git send-email`.

Yes, given we have instructions for diffstat and table of contents;
I think it'd be useful to discourage quoting irrelevant parts of
the message (especially signatures and like).
