Re: [PATCH 0/3] "commit --template" fixes

When editing the commit message, start the editor with the contents in the
given file.  The `commit.template` configuration variable is often used to
give this option implicitly to the command.  This mechanism can be used by
projects that want to guide participants with some hints on what to write
in the message in what order.  If the user exits the editor without editing
the message, the commit is aborted.  This has no effect when a message is
given by other means, e.g. with the `-m` or `-F` options.

I like it!
