FILES
-----

`$GIT_DIR/COMMIT_EDITMSG`::
This file contains the commit message of a commit in progress.
If `git commit` exits due to an error before creating a commit,
any commit message that has been provided by the user (e.g., in
an editor session) will be available in this file, but will be
overwritten by the next invocation of `git commit`.
