Once in a while, I would like to run some scripts that will automatically generate some files that I keep maintained in my repository. (Yes, I know that I shouldn't have to keep them version controlled if I can regenerate them, but it's easier to check out old versions of the files than it is to check out old versions of the repository, wait 1/2 hour to regenerate the files, and then look at them). I also like to review the files before they get committed. Is there any way I can "pre-populate" the commit message so that I can run my "regenerate" command, review the differences, and then commit the changes with my prewritten message? --wpd -- 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
