Here's my rule:


(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist
             '("/\\.git/\\(COMMIT\\|TAG\\)_EDITMSG\\'" .
               vcs-message-mode))

(define-derived-mode vcs-message-mode text-mode "VCS-message"
  "Major mode for editing commit and tag messages." 
  (auto-fill-mode 1)
  (set (make-local-variable 'tab-stop-list)
       (number-sequence 4 100 4))
  (setq indent-tabs-mode nil
        fill-column 72
        truncate-lines t))

2009-01-13 16:11 [PATCH 3/3] Adds a #!bash to the top of bash completions so that editors can recognize, it as a bash script. Also adds a few simple comments above commands that, take arguments. The comments are meant to remind editors of potential, problems that can occur when the script is sourced on systems with "set, -u." Ted Pavlic
