Local commentChar config is not honored.

I'm working on a project that has a convention that all commit messages start with a hash sign # and id of a github issue.

For example:

#15 Fix bug in whatever feature

Unfortunately Git Cola doesn't allow me to enter the hash sign as first character of the commit message. I have to use terminal to do that commit (git commit -m '#15 Fix bug in whatever feature or git commit and enter the message in editor - with changed commentchar config to something else).

Given that git commits starting with # sign are legal, it would be nice if Git Cola could allow creating them.

Probably a duplicate of issue #383

Ah, I just realized that Git Cola takes global core.commentChar in account when checking the commit message. After running git config --global core.commentChar ";" I can use # in commit message.

But it would be great if it would also honor local commentChar settings.

Nice catch. It wasn't handling the case when the repository changes, which also has a side-effect of not honoring the local commentchar if it was already set globally. I'll be pushing a fix for this shortly, give it a try. Thanks for the report.

Works great now, thanks!
