Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

I am trying to fail if a commit message starts with fixup or squash. I am also trying to fail if a message contains [no-merge]. It is far easier to check for the existence of these things than confirm the negative.

Describe the solution you'd like

A new flag: failOnMatch. It defaults to false (current behavior). Setting to true will fail if the pattern matches on a commit.

Describe alternatives you've considered

RegExp negative lookahead. Ugh. Not easy to understand for the next person to look at the code. (AKA me, in five minutes.)

I’ll take a crack at this tonight if I have some spare time. If I didn’t, then someone else should feel free to grab this if it is a desired feature.
