"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.

Note that this also confused my codeveloper (who is rather enamoured bzr), who
was wondering what the other branch was in case of 

  Merge branch 'master' of ssh+git://git.sv.gnu.org/srv/git/lilypond


Wouldn't it be better to mention the id of the local repository too? 

  Merge branch 'master' of ssh+git://git.sv.gnu.org/srv/git/lilypond into 
  'master' of 'hanwen@xs4all.nl'

this would give more information when these commit messages get pushed to 
someone else.
