Well, I'm somewhat convinced (and I don't have a solution to offer
addressing your concerns at the moment).

Moreover, as it's easier right now to just configure more or less what the previous
semantics were and post-pone devising a more elaborate ticket/commit action
command system, I've reconfigured the Trac instance as follows:

 - As soon as a ticket-reference matching the regexp '#[0-9]+' occurs in
   a commit's message (which became newly reachable from the `master`
   branch with the current `git push` operation), the commit is added as
   a comment to the referenced ticket.

 - Aside from adding comments to a ticket, no other actions are
   triggered by Git commit messages.

Is this acceptable?

Cheers,
