Whether the two samples these patches implement are useful ones or
not, the early part of 2/2 that starts using named variables instead
of positional ones is an improvement.  It makes it easier to see
what is going on.

Patch 2/2 as posted forgets to update some references to $1, $2 and
$3, both in the actual code and also commented out part, e.g.

    sed -e ... "$COMMIT_MSG_FILE" >"$SED_OUTPUT_TEMP" && mv "$SED_OUTPUT_TEMP" "$1"
    # case "$2,$3" in

In the first one, $COMMIT_MSG_FILE and $1 refer to the same thing;
they should be consistent.

If these updates were to be done as multiple patches, the change to
use named not positional variables, without changing anything else,
should come second, I think, after the one that simply removes the
now-useless "Conflicts:" sample from the script, as a preparatory
clean-up step.  You can build other things like hints-removal and
sign-off with interpret-trailers on top of these two steps.

Have you considered using "@PERL_PATH@ -i" instead of "sed" in this
step, by the way?  That would allow you not to worry about the
temporary file left behind (e.g. what happens when somebody else
runs this in a shared repository setting, creating and leaving the
temporary file that you may not be able to write into later because
her umask is tighter, and then you try to make a commit).

Thanks.
