To syntax highlight git's commit messages, you need to:
1. Copy syntax/gitcommit.vim to vim's syntax directory:
$ mkdir -p $HOME/.vim/syntax
$ cp syntax/gitcommit.vim $HOME/.vim/syntax
2. Auto-detect the editing of git commit files:
$ cat >>$HOME/.vimrc <<'EOF'
autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead COMMIT_EDITMSG set filetype=gitcommit
EOF
