Feature request: Option to skip commit hooks

[albertvaka]

Thanks for taking over the maintainer role of git-gui 😄

It would be great if git-gui allowed the equivalent of passing --no-verify when committing using the CLI.

The simpler and least intrusive implementation of this would be a new menu entry, side by side to "Commit", that was "Commit (bypass commit hooks)".

I can see that this is a desirable option.

When this is implemented, it should be hidden away to avoid that it is used accidentally. Every use of this form of making a commit must be a conscious decision by the user. Therefore it should be a new entry in the menu and without a hot-key and no button next to the edit box.

100% agree!

I currently disable them via env vars set before opening git-gui.

I appreciate the idea of preventing mistakes, but I feel like it has to be not that hard to use, otherwise it punishes users like me that would use it appropriately. Sometimes, I need to skip hooks.

I wouldn't want a toggle to permanently disable them. I feel like a hotkey would be nice; but something hard to accidentally press, like CTRL+CMD+OPTION+ENTER.
