                    // write contents back out to .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG

I've seen some cases when referencing multiple jira issues, the second issue's id gets truncated. I believe the issue is in line 43:
var issueLine = jiraIssue.exec(name)[0].substring(1, name.indexOf('-')).toUpperCase().split('-');

It should be changed to:
var issueLine = jiraIssue.exec(name)[0].substring(1).toUpperCase().split('-');

The result of jiraIssue.exec(name)[0] has already gotten rid of the rest of the message (everything after the id's), so there's no need of passing a second parameter to substring.

@bernardop, I had that issue just yesterday. Thank you for posting the fix!
