Prefix Git Commit Message with the Branch Name
# Add the following lines to .git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg and
# ensure it is executable.
# Prefix the message with the branch's name e.g. "#STORY-23: "
# The reason the branch line is commented is to prevent accidental
# commits.
BRANCH=`git branch | grep '^*' | sed -e 's/^\* //'`
MESSAGE=`cat "$1"`
echo "#$BRANCH: $MESSAGE" > "$1"
