FWIW, I also prefer to have those 10 extra characters in the header. Also, when I'm scanning the git shortlog, I don't give a damn about bug numbers, because if I care enough about a commit to want to check its bug report, it's very likely I'm already looking at the full commit message anyway.
But that's just my opinion.
