Thank you! And sorry about that. I wanted to take a look this weekend
for problems you mentioned, but haven't got time. Anyway, IIRC I have
used "C-x 4 a" to create the commit message, but then I re-formatted it
to look more similar to other commits I've seen. Probably I shouldn't
have touched it…
About git-am: this is unfortunate, I think I haven't seen this problem
because apparently "git" refuses to execute local hooks if one have set
global hooks with "hooksPath" variable (which since recently I use to
pre-format commit message based on modified paths, etc). I'll see what
can be done with it.
P.S.: I replied on top level since for some reason my email client
(Geary) refused to reply the last message directly.
