Description

Similar to Git, if the user does not provide a commit message, we can prompt in the R console for a message. The recommendation is to use readline (SO answer).

The limitation is that readline only accepts a single vector, so it finishes once the user types Enter. To allow multi-line messages, we'd have to add that infrastructure.

Credit for good idea to @pcarbo.
