This adds the `git commit-message` command with actions: add,
edit, clear, and show (the default). You can use it to build
up a commit message while you are working, simply running:
git commit-message add A quick reminder
When you eventually do the `git commit`, the message that you
have accumulated will be the seed for the commit message to be
used.
Note that this sets up prepare-commit-msg and post-commit hooks
for you when used so that it can inject the commit message and
clear it out after the commit.

Beware - the one issue I think this may have is that if there is an existing prepare-commit-msg or post-commit hook, it kind of assumes that it is safe to append its own bash statements to the end of the hook, which is probably a little scary. |

@arrbee Willing to proceed on this? |

@hemanth I never really got any feedback on it and I don't use this anymore myself. I'd be happy just to close unless you think that anyone would actually use this. Nowadays I'm just in the habit of making more and smaller commits, so I think this type of extension probably encourages bad habits. |

I can confirm it also works Linux. I just installed `git-extras` via `Homebrew` on my Ubuntu machine: ```sh $ uname -srv Linux 5.8.0-53-generic tj#60~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 6 09:52:46 UTC 2021 $ brew install git-extras Updating Homebrew... ==> Auto-updated Homebrew!
