FWIW the trick with `.git/last-commit-msg` did not really work for me in direct use of git-annex as I guess annex introduces changes to git-annex when I do `git-annex add` first, so it takes then PRIOR commit message:

```
❯ git annex add random2
(recording state in git...)
add random2 
ok                                
(recording state in git...)
❯ git commit -a
