The idea of "auto" is: If set to "auto", `git-commit` would select a character that is not the beginning character of any line in existing commit messages. As there are no pre-existing lines in that script (apart from the ones we are about to add with the todo_help), the setting "auto" is pretty moot and we will fall back to the default comment char (or, if there was a previous core.commentChar that was parsed, that one). In short: the code is fine, but yes, I had to convince myself by looking through the code. (Hinting at a possible improvement of the commit message.) Ciao, Dscho
