Can I add custom metadata to Git commit object?

Is it possible to add custom metadata to Git commit object?
Such metadata should be ignored by Git commands, but could be used by a 3-party tool which knows the format and knows where to look.

I assume that this should be possible, given that Git objects are actually patches, and patches can contain additional details. But can this be done with the help of Git commands?
