Well... that's too bad. :-(

----------------------------------------------------------------------

When committing code to a repository, the comment area should provide autocomplete like functionality for:

a) class names
b) property/ivar names
c) method signatures

This would make writing lines such as 

- fixed resizing bug in transitionToViewControllerWithKey:duration:options:animations:completion: in BPCAdViewController

much quicker/easier.
 

Steps to Reproduce:

n/a

Expected Results:

Class and method signatures autocomplete.

Actual Results:

n/a

Regression:

n/a

Notes:

Having autocomplete in the comment area would encourage developers to write better (less shortcuts) commit comments in less time.
