* Seems to be working with limited testing.
* I am using `IStorageService` with no explicit scope, and I am unsure of the implications of this.
* There might should be an option for this functionality.

* Added ability to specify commit.template using `~`, e.g. `~/.somefile`
* Only works for local commit template. Not implemented for global commit.template, where the template location is in the home/users folder.

* Cleaned up and corrected changeView calling code to avoid initial git commit msg stuff.
* Refactored `lastCommitMsg` to `prevCommitMsg` in pipeline.

* Added `getCommitInfo` to git `IModel`.
  * Added commitInfo to Model implementation class.
* Changed `IRawGitService.getCommitInfo` to return `IRawStatus` instead of `ICommitInfo` directly.
* Changed `IGitService.getCommitInfo` to return `IModel`.
  * This was required because it expects a status when performing a git operation from the client (not really documented nor obvious).

* Added `Repository.getLog(ILogOptions)` for getting the previous commit msg, but allowing extensibility.
  * Added `ILogOptions` with single `prevCount` for extensibility of other use cases when executing `git log -1` (which gets the previous commit msg).

InProgress:

* Implementing getCommitInfo to parse possible template file, as well as parse the previous log message.

* I'm going ahead and commiting changes for possibility of others seeing this code. I will rely on later being able to correctly rebase changes.
* Added `getCommitInfo` to the git command chain: `IRawGitService`, `GitService`, `GitChannel`, `ChangesView`.
* Is erroring in a side-effect that I am having problems debugging, as the contributing guidance doesn't explain debugging the node process side (explicitly anyway).
