Mklog parses the diff content from prepare-commit-msg hook but fails
when git has been configured with some options (eg. mnemonicPrefix).
Forcing the default values for the prefixes and the algorithm would
set a distinct diff configuration supported by mklog and prevent most
failures.
contrib/ChangeLog:
* prepare-commit-msg: Force default git prefixes and algorithm usage.
