[PATCH] format-patch: Generate a newline between the subject header and the message body.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




format-patch previously didn't generate a newline after a subject. This caused the diffstat to not be displayed in messages without a blank line and the first blank line to be eaten in messages with a blank line.

This patch inserts a newline in two places - once in the loop to separate the subject part of the commit message from the body part of the commit message and another after the loop to counteract the eating of whitespace at the end of the message.
