Log message can be checked with verifymsg, branch and operation can be
checked with commitinfo, although it takes a little extra effort. So I don't
see the need for this unless you want to have special requirements for log
messages depending on which branch is affected or what operation is being
performed.
Is that what you're doing?
Sorry I don't know enough to comment on your specific question, "unintended
consequences."
