Actually I was wondering if it is a good idea to remove it, as it
seems to have outlived its usefulness.

It does seem  to be a good idea but it would leave the 'prepare-commit-
msg' hook with no scripts that could be used by just activating it.
That's why I thought of adding a script that removes the "Please enter
your.." message from the comments if it exists.

That sounds like a sample that is there not because it would be
useful, but because we couldn't think of any useful example.

IOW, I view it just as useful as a sample that does

	#!/bin/sh
	echo "# useless cruft" >>"$1"

whose sole value is to demonstrate that you could affect what you
see in the editor by modifying "$1".
