Severity: wishlist

Hello,
take the case where I have finished working on a new release. I have
just done "dch -r" to appropriately update the changelog:
┏rivendell:~/deb/core/dh-linktree (master)
┗(700)$ git diff
diff --git a/debian/changelog b/debian/changelog

Unfortunately "debcommit -a" will not commit such a change.
┏rivendell:~/deb/core/dh-linktree (master)
┗(701)$ debcommit -a
debcommit: unable to determine commit message using git (do you mean "debcommit -a" or did you forget to run "git add"?)
Try using the -m flag.
I would like debcommit to figure out that this was a new release
and to automatically use the commit message "Release <package> <version>".
I know of "debcommit -r" but I don't necessarily want to create tags
at this point. I run my test build, and I put the tag only after I have
verified that it's ok to be uploaded.
Cheers,
