Git: Can't commit if commit message starts with `#`

[daolanfler]

• VSCode Version: 1.40.0
• OS Version: Darwin x64 19.0.0

Steps to Reproduce:

1. make some changes and open source control
2. input a commit msg starts with '#' then press command + enter, nothing happens

This worked fine in version 1.39

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Same here, I am not able to commit at all (with cmd+enter or by clicking the commit icon) if the commit message starts with #. Also on Darwin x64 19.0.0 and VSCode 1.40.0

The fix for #6403 made it that the input box now treats lines starting with # as comments. This is a good change since it enables other cool scenarios.

What we need here is better affordance for the user to know what's a comment and what is not: either error/warning messages or a full blown text editor.

Our standards mandate that we prefix our commits with the work item we're working on so the work item is tagged in AZD/GitHub etc.

e.g. #456 did some stuff

...so this change means we'll have to use another git client (or change our standards).
