Here's my rule:


(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist
             '("/\\.git/\\(COMMIT\\|TAG\\)_EDITMSG\\'" .
               vcs-message-mode))

(define-derived-mode vcs-message-mode text-mode "VCS-message"
  "Major mode for editing commit and tag messages."=20
  (auto-fill-mode 1)
  (set (make-local-variable 'tab-stop-list)
       (number-sequence 4 100 4))
  (setq indent-tabs-mode nil
        fill-column 72
        truncate-lines t))
