Rebase fails when commit message starts with "#"

[splintor]

The problem

GitHub Desktop allows me to commit with a message that starts with a #, but when I try to rebase my branch and this commit has conflicts, after I fix the conflicts and ask GitHub Desktop to continue with the rebase, it fails. I think this happens because git considers the commit message as a comment, since it starts with a #.

(Our convention is to start PR names with "#<JIRA Ticket>", so this is also what I use for my first commit message.)

Release version

Version 3.2.0 (arm64)

Operating system

Mac OS Ventura 13.2.1

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Create a branch – A.
2. Make a change and commit it with a message that starts with #.
3. Create another branch – B.
4. Commit a change in the same place as you did for branch A.
5. Checkout branch A, and try to rebase it to branch B.
