I can see how that would be useful.

Should this really be a function of git-subtree? It seems like it would
fit better in a history-rewriting command. Wouldn't rebase -i or even
filter-branch be a better way to do this?
If there's no --annotate I don't see why git-subtree should have the
--unannotate functionality.
Again, I agree that your example is relevant, maybe even common, but I
don't necessarily think git-subtree should be in the business of
rewriting commit messages at all.
I'd appreciate more thoughts from you on this. I want to make sure we
can support your use case.
