            Bug ID: 220511
           Summary: Use/recommend .git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg for commit
                    message generation
           Product: WebKit
           Version: Other
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests

Currently on the wiki (on https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/UsingGitWithWebKit) we recommend setting the core.editor config variable to generate commit messages.

It would seem better to not override the editor configuration, but to instead use the hook that git provides for such tasks (prepare-commit-msg). We will need some level of complexity in the script to handle the different sources of commit message (i.e., the second argument to the hook).
