Put ghstack message below commit message body / update local message with remote

[Thorben Primke]

Just another observation from using it - enjoying ghstack more every day. :)

I was wondering if there is a (technical) reason that the ghstack info is inserted above the commit message? Maybe it could be a config to either inject the stack info above or below the message.

And I was curious if amending the local commit message with remote changes has come up in the past? The use case here is that I/we often add screenshots to a commit on github.com directly. When I update the commit by running ghstack again, the remote edits are overwritten.

That's all - one of these days I have to take an afternoon to work on these improvements. ;)

There is no technical reason. An aesthetic reason for placing it up top is when you navigate between PRs, the stack list stays at a fixed position (like a menubar). If you want to add a config to toggle it, I guess it's OK; it doesn't seem like the payoff is that great though, but it's pretty simple.

Ah yes, this should exist as a feature, it just hasn't been written. Please implement it as ghstack sync [--stack] (stack argument to update all commits in your stack).
