Hi all,

I've just started using git to run a repository on my local machine. I'm
wondering about the following questions:

Is it possible to change the revision numbers from long hashes to normal
numbers (i.e, 0001 for first, 0002 for the second)

Can I set up Git to:

a) Automatically commit a file to the repository every time it's saved

b) Automatically use the default hashed-out bit:

	# Please enter the commit message for your changes.
	# (Comment lines starting with '#' will not be included)
	# Updated but not checked in:
	#   (will commit)
	#
	#       modified:   TOK/bce.abw
	#
	# Untracked files:
	#   (use "git add" to add to commit)
	#
	#       TOK/bce.abw.bak~

as the commit message? (i.e, remove the hash signs and not bring up vim
in the first place?)

Thanks for any help.
