Hi Jonathan. Thanks for the quick feedback. Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@xxxxxxxxx> writes: > I was with you up to here. Is commit time really the right moment > to clobber a foreign ident?

Well, it's how ident is normally expected to behave; when you commit something new, the file should get a new ident. > It might be simpler to just never clobber a foreign ident and instead > rely on local policy (scripts, pre-commit hooks, and so on) to remove > them at the appropriate time. Simpler as far as patch size is concerned (although this patch isn't really that complex as it is), but it sounds like much more of a hassle to actually use. Do you have a use case in mind where you have the ident attribute on a file but do _not_ want a new ident each time you commit a change to the file? // Marcus -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
