"master" shouldn't get special treatment; making different log messages 
based on the name of the branch is bad form.  What if a user likes 
"my/master" or "my/head" as their master branch?

I do not agree. There is usually a principal branch, where you collect the 
topics, and you do want to treat that special. As for the name: better 
have a convention here than configurability. You would not want "git" to 
be called "guitar" for some users, just because they happen to like that 
name more, either, right?

Disagree: I have two principal branches, master and stable/2.10.  I don't see
why the latter should get different commit messages.

I also agree to disagree.  "master" is maybe the default branch, but it 
is not so special to deserve a different message than any other branch.
