Too much clutter for too little gain, except for a very first few commits in the repository. Why isn't the "# Author:" and "# Committer:" information you see along with "git status" output in the editor "git commit" gives you sufficient if it is to avoid unconfigured/misconfigured names and e-mail addresses? > This patch is not necessarily meant for inclusion verbatim; > ... > diff --git a/pretty.c b/pretty.c > index 8f5bd1a..2458509 100644 > --- a/pretty.c > +++ b/pretty.c > @@ -1028,16 +1028,26 @@ void pretty_print_commit(enum cmit_fmt fmt, const struct commit *commit, > int need_8bit_cte = context->need_8bit_cte; > > if (fmt == CMIT_FMT_USERFORMAT) { > - format_commit_message(commit, user_format, sb, context); > + format_commit_message(commit, user_format, sb, context); Of course it isn't, with a change like this ;-) Indentation damages aside, there is a lot more serious issue with this.
