The following "body" line is correctly highlighted as an error:
But this is not:
feat: description
# comment
body
Even though the resulting commit message is this (because comment lines are completely removed, not just treated as blank, by Git's commit message parser):
Unfortunately, I realize this is not as simple as just highlighting any line directly after the subject line, regardless of whether they are comments, as errors, because often a commit message would look like this:
feat: description
# Please enter the commit message for your changes. Lines starting
# with '#' will be ignored, and an empty message aborts the commit.
#
# On branch main
# Changes to be committed:
# modified: some_file.txt
#
# ------------------------ >8 ------------------------
# Do not modify or remove the line above.
# Everything below it will be ignored.
