The 'formatoptions' option deals with this.

r  Automatically insert the current comment leader after
   hitting <Enter> in Insert mode.
o  Automatically insert the current comment leader after
   hitting 'o' or 'O' in Normal mode.

e.g.

set formatoptions+=r
set formatoptions-=o

There's other bits for automatic formatting of comments, but
that's another issue.


There's also the 'comments' option that lets you customise
behaviour even further. It's all fun.
