Commit comment templates in Mylar 0.8.0

Mylar 0.8.0 was released recently.

Mylar is an Eclipse project that tries to make working with very large workspaces as easy as working with small ones. It integrates nicely with Bugzilla and keeps track of any files you change when working on a bug. These changed files are automatically placed in a change set so they can be committed together.

This new release includes support for templates for commit messages. This is really cool because a commit message automatically gets formatted the way you specify. This prevent typos in commit messages which causes scripts that intercept commit messages to automate certain tasks (like updating Bugzilla bug reports) to skip you comment.

Very nice work indeed. I'm already looking forward to the upcoming releases.
