title: Escape comment character (#) in git commit message
body: <p>I have set mcedit as my editor for git commit messages. By default it ignores any lines starting with the <code>#</code> character. However odd this may seem, I need to be able to have the my commit message looking like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#FOO-123: Implement bar foo
  
  Committing work in progress
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The <code>#FOO-123: ...</code> is actually the key + title of an issue in our tracker. The tracker can automatically pick up these commit messages and add them to the issue.</p>
  
  <p>Unfortunately, the first line gets treated like a comment and gets ignored.</p>
  
  <p>I don't want to have to be committing from the command line by adding <code>-m</code> as it's inconvenient/ugly when you have multiple lines.</p>
  
  <p>How could I work around this?</p>
