How to remove the default first comment line from the description template?

[joneshf]

Is it possible to remove this first comment line from the description template somehow? I found out the other day that it messes up things like vim-jjdescription if you leave it there. vim-jjdescription thinks that comment is the first line, so it doesn't highlight your first non-comment line.

I want to say that leaving that first comment line in also does weird things for commits that show up in a PR. But I can’t actually replicate that behavior right now, so it’s more likely that I did something wrong at the time.

That sounds more like vim-jjdescription should update the grammar to accept the comments?

Sure, that would address one symptom. It might even make vim-jjdescription properly highlight the first line of each change when you're describing multiple changes at once. There's at least a few reasons why vim-jjdescription should address this. But changing vim-jjdescription won't address this symptom (if it's real):

Still TBD if it's real or I did something else to cause this issue 😅.

Regardless, those examples aren't the only reasons someone would want to remove the default first comment line.
