Prerequisites

I have searched existing issues

Problem

The plugin works great when I browse through past commits, but when I run git commit --verbose, I'm left with the defaults, though the content of the buffer is pretty much the same.
There is a treesitter grammar for diffs, but it only makes the default a bit more fancy, doesn't try to use the highlighting of the original language

Compare:
In :G status overview

In G commit (with mentioned diff grammar):

In G commit (without the diff grammar):

In the commit view after committing (yes, looks exactly the same as in status overview):

Proposed solution

Use the same highlighting rules for commit windows
