The existing git sublime plugin shows a diff when committing. That on it's own is enough to keep me using it instead of switching, which is a shame as this does everything else better

You can actually turn on verbose commit messages by using the setting git_commit_verbose. Have a look in the default config for SublimeGit. If you do that, it'll add the diff, and even syntax highlight it for you.

awesome, thanks. I have no idea why that wouldn't be on by default. Can't imagine anyone getting annoyed by having it there.

It's not on by default, because it's not the default when using git from the command line. If someone is new to git it might be a little scary to see a wall of text when committing.

I'm not sure that it's actually documented though, which definitely is an error on my part.
