From eff80a9fd990de3605063050dae32f969ef18ba8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Junio C Hamano Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2013 20:18:48 +0100 Subject: Allow custom "comment char" Some users do want to write a line that begin with a pound sign, #, in their commit log message. Many tracking system recognise a token of # form, for example. The support we offer these use cases is not very friendly to the end users. They have a choice between - Don't do it. Avoid such a line by rewrapping or indenting; and - Use --cleanup=whitespace but remove all the hint lines we add. Give them a way to set a custom comment char, e.g. $ git -c core.commentchar="%" commit so that they do not have to do either of the two workarounds. [jc: although I started the topic, all the tests and documentation updates, many of the call sites of the new strbuf_add_commented_*() functions, and the change to git-submodule.sh scripted Porcelain are from Ralf.] Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano Signed-off-by: Ralf Thielow Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano --- t/t7502-commit.sh | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) (limited to 't/t7502-commit.sh') diff --git a/t/t7502-commit.sh b/t/t7502-commit.sh index 1a5cb6983c..6a2c67cd1a 100755 --- a/t/t7502-commit.sh +++ b/t/t7502-commit.sh @@ -447,4 +447,11 @@ use_template="-t template" try_commit_status_combo +test_expect_success 'commit --status with custom comment character' ' + test_when_finished "git config --unset core.commentchar" && + git config core.commentchar ";" && + try_commit --status && + test_i18ngrep "^; Changes to be committed:" .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG +' + test_done -- cgit v1.2.1
