Hi, Kevin Ryde reports[1]: > If font lock is disabled, M-x git-commit-file gets an error when setting > up the log message edit buffer. > > M-: (global-font-lock-mode 0) > M-x git-status > /some/git/directory > c <- on a modified file > > => Font-lock trying to use keywords before setting them up > > I suppose font-lock-compile-keywords should not be used if font lock is > not enabled. I suspect font-lock-add-keywords might be the right thing > instead. It seems to work for me (the code is supposed to replace the > normal log-edit-mode keywords is it?). and suggests a patch[2]. Does it make sense? Ignorantly, Jonathan [1] http://bugs.debian.org/577834 from a while ago. Sorry for the long delay.
