+To syntax highlight git's commit messages, you need to:
+ 1. Copy commit-syntax.vim to vim's syntax directory:
+ $ cp commit-syntax.vim $HOME/.vim/syntax/gitcommit.vim
+ 2. Auto-detect the editing of git commit files:
+ $ cat >>$HOME/.vimrc <<'EOF'
+ autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead COMMIT_EDITMSG set filetype=gitcommit
+ EOF
