If the '--This line, and those below, will be ignored--' line is not
present, the former (committing all original targets) seems logical to me.
(I always delete this line and everything below it before committing,
because otherwise there is an annoying trailing EOL in the log message.)

I assumed the magic parsing would be not done to messages given by -F or
-m. In those cases, the special lines are not present in the first place,
so I do not see why they should be parsed. (We are not expecting people
to add the special lines manually, right?)
