Hi, folks.
>From the output of 'git show', it appears that a commit has a few fields
of metadata associated with it in addition to the comment. These fields
seem to include Author, AuthorDate, Committer, and CommitDate.
1. Are there other fields aside from these four?
2. When I invoke 'git commit' without the '-m' argument I'm dropped
into the cozy $EDITOR of my choice and given the opportunity to
edit the commit message. Is there any way to include the metadata
fields in this editing session? That way I could both sanity-check
them as I perform the commit (important) and modify them if they're
wrong (less important).
I've been having problems lately with running git on machines where
I forgot to set up my .gitconfig; I wind up with patches that have
committers like root@mymachine and so forth. Being automatically
shown the committer/author when I make the commit would help me
avoid these situations.
Thanks,
- a
