The reason 'got commit -F logmsg.txt' doesn't exist is that 'commit -F'
can easily lead to accidents where e.g. a source code file that is
supposed to be committed ends up being used as the log message.

But I recognize that the lack of -F makes it harder to script 'got commit'.

If you can properly control the argument vector passed to the got process
from emacs, then injecting an entire log message via 'got commit -m' will
work. If that's too difficult then, sure, we can add commit -F.
