It's even nicer to look it over before committing.  For that I've done:

 git config --global alias.ci 'commit -v'

Then I always use `git ci` rather than `git commit`.  This causes the 
diff of what I'm going to be committing to be included in the file where 
I create the commit message, so I can look it over there.

This can also help for editing the commit message by having modified 
functions included in the edit buffer so that their names are available 
for completion if I want to mention them in the message.
