  0. You just DO WHAT THE FUCK YOU WANT TO.


Instructions
============

1. Place this and `post-commit` in the .git/hooks folder.
2. Commit message must contain `gh-#`.
3. This script will update Github and will comment the issue with a 
link to the appropriate commit. Note: it will remove any reference to 
the `gh-#` mentioned earlier. Hence "Fixes issue gh-53" will just 
become "Fixes issue". You can change this if it's annoying.
