[PATCH 1/2] git-format-patch: Print a diagnostic message when ignoring commits

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

 



Earlier, git-format-patch used to silently skip over commits that it
didn't intend to make patches out of. As a consequence, a command like
'git-format-patch -3' would just do nothing and print nothing if the
topmost three commits were merge commits. Instead, print a useful
message similar to "Skipping: Merge branch ..." when ignoring a
commit.
