Bug#444869: detect git-send-email messages as ft=mail

[martin f krafft]

Package: vim-runtime
Version: 1:7.1-056+2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

It would be nice if this could be included in filetype.vim:

augroup filetypedetect
  # detect git-send-email messages
  au! BufRead,BufNewFile .msg.[0-9]*
        \ if getline(1) =~ '^From .\+ignored\.$' | setfiletype mail | endif
augroup END

Furthermore, such messages include lines in the body matched by

  syn region gitComment start=/^GIT: / end=/$/
  (or just a syn match)

I am not sure how to get syntax highlighting for that to work.
A solution might be to introduce a filetype git-mail, which copies
emulates 'mail' (if that's possible) and then extends it by a

  hi def link gitComment Comment
