Description

Especially with conflicts, the commit messages contain comments that should not show up in the final commit message

@Murmele Do we want to ignore all lines starting with # or just when they come from merges and rebases? Ignoring all would be the same behavior as the CLI

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how Gittyup constructs commit messages during merges and rebases, and find where comments (lines starting with '#') are included. Determine if there is a setting or function to strip them, and see how the Git CLI handles this. Then propose a fix to filter these comments before finalizing the commit message.
