I need the ability to help committers add crucible smart-commit tags to their commit messages. The original implementation of this plugin replaces the commit message with an external file or text. I adjusted that to provide an 'append to the existing message' option that preserves the existing commit message and adds the template.
In our case, the commit message associated with a vcs changelist normally is the bug number and its brief description on one line. The template would look something like this "+review PROJ @dev1 @Dev2". So the combined line is like
BUG-123 Fix the thing +review PROJ @dev1 @Dev2
This implementation is incomplete (see the commented out block in CommitMessageTemplateAction.java) but should be enough to share the idea.
