That's not possible.

If you're trying to merge someone's work, you don't get to change the commit 
message. That would force any contributor to send their work as patches (so we 
can 'git am -s'), but that's not always possible.

For example, right now, if you look at kde-qt.git, the changes it has on top 
of the vanilla Qt cannot be represented by patches. The reason for that is 
because of the merges.
