I don't remember when but there is something unfamiliar feature for me was updated to my terminal that automatically insert an newline while writing git commit message with Vim.

I'm currently using some hooks with my commit message and the form is fit with my old style so I don't need this fancy feature right now.

but I couldn't find any option to off this. How can I off this?

Please help me~
