I suspect this doesn't directly relate to git-mode. What mode does emacs say you're in at this point? I'm guessing the buffer name is COMMIT_EDITMSG and the mode is fundamental-mode?

In that case you could stick this in your .emacs if you wanted to use message-mode:

(setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("COMMIT_EDITMSG" . message-mode) auto-mode-alist))
