Write a git commit message for my changes.

{{#if diff}}Changes:

{{diff}}
{{else}}Run `git diff --staged` (if that is empty, `git diff`) and read it.
{{/if}}

Format:
- Subject line: imperative mood, 50 characters or fewer, no trailing period (for example "Fix off-by-one in pagination").
- Blank line.
- Body, only if the change is not obvious: why it was needed and what behavior changed, wrapped at 72 characters. Do not repeat the diff.

Output only the message, ready to paste into `git commit`. If the changes are unrelated, say they should be separate commits and suggest the split.
