Description
**Problem**
Users have no chance to give their commits a custom message.
A simple real-world use case is the following:
Large non-tech teams using the netlify-cms need some way to tie their content edits to a ticket.
The commit message templates beta feature from [https://www.netlifycms.org/docs/beta-features/#commit-message-templates](https://www.netlifycms.org/docs/beta-features/#commit-message-templates) is limited.
**Solution**

```
backend:
commit_messages:
prompt: true | false
```
**Additional context**
The UI would visually be something along the lines of:
