Doesn't this use of [] have the same problem with git am?

My summaries are often describing the bug I'm fixing, i.e.

[PATCH] PR c++/91476 - anon-namespace reference temp clash between TUs.

which is also the first line of my ChangeLog entry.  I think you are 
proposing

[COMMITTED] c++: Fix anon-namespace reference temp clash between TUs 
(PR91476)

which can no longer be shared with the ChangeLog.
