Vim Syntax Colors vs. Git Commit Message Format

This happens to me all the time.



Doug McInnes clued me in to the fact that there is a reason for this apparent madness.

Update: if this really bothers you (like it does me), you can kill it dead by zapping this file:

/usr/share/vim/vim72/syntax/gitcommit.vim

Power users only. Don't blame me if it makes your computer explode. That was my secret plan all along.
