Render Markdown in the Commit messages #1133
Description
What
Please add support for Markdown rendering in the commit messages.
Why
It is quite common to use some formatting in commit messages, usually Markdown, or at least a subset of Markdown.
Even if not fully fledged Markdown, URLs to other resources are very commonly used to link to additional documentation.
Some of the most common examples are commits from Dependabot that always include links to release notes of the updated dependencies. Here you can already see 3 different formatting options used - preformatted code, lists, and links:
These are, however, currently just rendered as plaintext in Sourcegit. While the preformatted code and lists are still readable even as a plaintext string, the links are pretty much useless. You cannot click on the http(s):// URLs. If one wants to open such a link, the only option is to copy the text and paste it into a browser window.
