title: How do you set the commit message when editing a text file in a Visual Studio Teams Services git repository? (Visual Studio Online)
body: <p>When browsing a repository under the "Code" tab of a project in Visual Studio Team Services. If I browse to a text file in the git repository and select it I see the contents of the file and I have the option to edit the file.</p>
  
  <p>If I edit the file and then save it a git commit message is automatically generated, which is of the form <code>"Updated PreBuild.ps"</code> - if I edited the file <code>Prebuild.ps</code></p>
  
  <p>I like my git commit messages to be written in the future tense:</p>
  
  <p>If this commit is accepted it will <strong><em>update PreBuild.ps to add some console logging</em></strong></p>
  
  <p>How do I either type my own commit message or edit the commit message after it has been created in Visual Studio Team Services?</p>
