passed on the command line.

Is it necessary? If you want short command, you would use alias
instead of typing "commit". Adding --verbose to the alias to make the
command even shorter is straightforward.

I just tried out this patch, and found that setting commit.verbose to
true also affects git commit's behavior when invoked from scripts
where you can't pass --verbose to git commit.  I.e. the diff to be
committed is shown for git revert, interactive rebase's reword or
squash commands, or during 'git rebase --continue' after resolving a
conflict.  I think this should be mentioned both in the commit message
and in the documentation.

Anyway, I like this change because I have a somewhat convoluted and
flaky combination of hooks and editor scripts to do the same, and now
I can finally get rid of them.
