Ashley Williams tweeted that !! in commit messages will be replaced with the last executed command.

!!- last command!1- first entry in history!-1- last entry in history!ssh- last command starting withssh!:1- first argument of last command
For the case of git this works only when using -m though. ;) If you want to read more about this Digital Ocean published a nice article on this topic.
