Commit message drafts

[tailsu]

Closing a COMMIT: buffer discards whatever was lovingly written inside without asking. Better would be to remember what was written therein across openings of this buffer, or, maybe, provide a command, like TortoiseGit, to access a list of "discarded" commit messages that can be inserted into the commit message.

I had the same disappointed feeling in the past, thus my local settings include the following setting:

{
    "prompt_on_abort_commit": true
}

As a workaround, this should show a dialog, to avoid discarding a commit message by mistake.

Though I like the suggested TortoiseGit feature, to access a list of "discarded" commit messages!

Maybe we should set the default value of prompt_on_abort_commit to true?
