I could also extract bugzilla number from commit message. It would
automaticaly add BZ # to NEWS.

I could also add BZ link could be added to notes.

I have post-hook almost ready. I need a script that reads, add $NO, sort, uniq, 
format, update NEWS.

Rest of post-commit hook is following.

Comments?

# Did I miss some spelling?

BZ = `git log -n 1 | grep "BZ\|[bB]ug" | sed "s/[bB]ug\s+/BZ /" | sed "s/BZ\s+#/BZ /" | sed "s/.*BZ\s+\([0-9]+\).*/\1/"`

git notes append -m "BZ: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=$NO" # TODO omit duplicates.

# TODO insert to NEWS 
git add NEWS

commit --ammend -C HEAD --no-verify
