The 'patch' view is about generating text/plain patch that can be given to "git am", and "git am" doesn't understand merges anyway. Therefore link to 'patch' view should not be shown for merge commits. Also call to git-format-patch inside the 'patch' action would fail when 'patch' action is called for a merge commit, with "Reading git-format-patch failed" text as 'patch' view body.

Changes since v1: * Do not show 'patch' link for merge commits not only in 'commit' view, but also in 'commitdiff' view (more complete) * 'patch' link is shown also for root (parentless) commits; it works correctly thanks to passing '--root' option to git-format-patch (remove unnecessary restriction) * better commit message thanks to discussion with Jeff King gitweb/gitweb.perl | 6 +++--- 1 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/gitweb/gitweb.perl b/gitweb/gitweb.perl index 24b2193..14f31dc 100755 --- a/gitweb/gitweb.perl +++ b/gitweb/gitweb.perl @@ -5328,7 +5328,7 @@ sub git_commit { } @$parents ) .
