My point was that there may be many files named gitcommit.vim; the
directory they appear in under your .vim directory has significance. If
we add another such file, they will conflict in the flattened namespace
of contrib/vim. See below (which also adds the necessary mkdir
command):

To syntax highlight git's commit messages, you need to:
- 1. Copy commit-syntax.vim to vim's syntax directory:
- $ cp commit-syntax.vim $HOME/.vim/syntax/gitcommit.vim
+ 1. Copy syntax/gitcommit.vim to vim's syntax directory:
+ $ mkdir -p $HOME/.vim/syntax
+ $ cp syntax/gitcommit.vim $HOME/.vim/syntax
2. Auto-detect the editing of git commit files:
$ cat >>$HOME/.vimrc <<'EOF'
autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead COMMIT_EDITMSG set filetype=gitcommit
diff --git a/contrib/vim/commit-syntax.vim b/contrib/vim/syntax/gitcommit.vim
