Re: [PATCH 1/2] git-gui: strip comments and consecutive empty lines from commit messages

> This is also known as "washing". This is consistent with the behavior of
> interactive git commit, which we should emulate as closely as possible
> to avoid usability problems. This way commit message templates and
> prepare hooks can be used properly, and comments from conflicted rebases
> and merges are cleaned up without having to introduce special handling
