Hi--
I have a feature request.

I'd like to be a able to add a commit type to my commits, like 'major', 'minor', 'bug', etc. it would be useful in reviewing changes, especially when listing changes for end-users to see, because then miscellaneous/administrative commits could be omitted and only changes important to users listed.

Currently I achieve this by adding "[type]" to the end of my commit messages. But of course that's less than optimal. I think being able to add a commit type would be generally useful to everyone, and really has no downside becuase you do not need to use it if you prefer not.

Thanks, trans.
