You can use the magit minor mode on top of `log-edit-mode', see
`git-commit-major-mode' (thanks to Stefan K for pointing this out to
me).

Cool.  I just added the following to my emacs .dir-locals-2.el.  I'll make it my default if I like it for Emacs.

(
 (nil . ((git-commit-major-mode . log-edit-mode)))
)

Perhaps this is worth adopting in .dir-locals.el itself.
