I hadn't though of that, but showing it in COMMIT_EDITMSG is a great
moment, because you are notifying the user _before_ they create a merge
commit. So the backout/switch procedure is "cancel this by giving an
empty message, then re-run git pull --rebase".

On the other hand, if we run into conflicts, you'd probably want to let
them know before asking them to resolve them all. So perhaps a separate
message would be needed for that case (to suggest "reset --merge && git
pull --rebase").
