Maybe a command option or a config option.

The underlying idea of providing and ignoring instructions to the user is
still sound and is in line with Fossil's philosophy of making it easy to
use out-of-the-box.

Also, for what it's worth, my team currently relies on Fossil doing this.
Yes, sometimes ignoring lines starting with # is inconvenient, but it's no
big deal to "hide" the #.

Again, for what it's worth, when we were still using MS Windows (because of
tools being tied to MS Windows), we used CodeWright as our IDE, which had
good support for command line tools. We configured the "Check In" command
as "fossil addremove; fossil commit -M %Q:Enter brief commit message%". For
this, CW would pop-up a text entry dialog with the title "Enter brief
commit message", Then CW would would create a temporary file with the the
entered text and run the command, replacing the %Q:...% with the file name.

Once libfossil is far enough along, we might consider making plug-ins for
the IDEs we currently use.
