bug#66622: 29.1; When editing a Git commit message (COMMIT_EDITMSG), "Local variables entry is missing the prefix"

[Vincent Lefevre]

When editing a Git commit message (using "verbose = true"),
I got the error

File mode specification error: (user-error Local variables entry is
missing the prefix)

I suspect that this is because of

 @c Local variables:
 @c eval: (add-hook 'before-save-hook 'time-stamp nil t)
 @c time-stamp-pattern: "texinfoversion{%Y-%02m-%02d.%02H}"
-@c page-delimiter: "^\\\\message\\|emacs-page"
+@c page-delimiter: "^\\\\message"
 @c End:

in the diff.

This looks like similar to
  https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=13862

Shouldn't Emacs detect that this is part of a diff (where some prefix
is preceded by ' ', '+' or '-')?
