When requesting notes with "--notes", "format-patch" produces notes within the commit message which "am" misunderstands as being part of the message. Change this so that notes are displayed after an additional "---". Any "am" (old or new) will ignore that, so that it is a safe place for additional comments: Log message "---" notes "---" diffstat patch (The first "---" appears only when there is a note, of course.) Later on (say with "--format-notes") the output format can be changed easily to accomodate a future "am" which knows how to create notes from such patches. Signed-off-by: Michael J Gruber <git@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Reducing the output format to one "---" only is not only complicated (the notes separator is generated in a quite different place from the patch separator) but also unnecessary (am reads the patch anyways) and not even preferable (to give a clear separation of the parts). --- builtin/log.c | 4 +++- notes.c | 2 ++ notes.h | 3 +++ 3 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/builtin/log.c b/builtin/log.c index 5e71caa..67aed94 100644 --- a/builtin/log.c +++ b/builtin/log.c @@ -1159,8 +1159,10 @@ int cmd_format_patch(int argc, const char **argv, const char *prefix) if (!DIFF_OPT_TST(&rev.diffopt, TEXT) && !no_binary_diff) DIFF_OPT_SET(&rev.diffopt, BINARY); - if (rev.show_notes) + if (rev.show_notes) { init_display_notes(&rev.notes_opt); + rev.show_notes = NOTES_DASH; + } if (!use_stdout) output_directory = set_outdir(prefix, output_directory); diff --git a/notes.c b/notes.c index a013c1b..b8b737e 100644 --- a/notes.c +++ b/notes.c @@ -1233,6 +1233,8 @@ void format_note(struct notes_tree *t, const unsigned char *object_sha1, if (msglen && msg[msglen - 1] == '\n') msglen--; + if (flags & NOTES_DASH) + strbuf_addstr(sb, "---\n"); if (flags & NOTES_SHOW_HEADER) { const char *ref = t->ref; if (!ref || !strcmp(ref, GIT_NOTES_DEFAULT_REF)) { diff --git a/notes.h b/notes.h index 81d16e3..17150d5 100644 --- a/notes.h +++ b/notes.h @@ -238,6 +238,7 @@ void free_notes(struct notes_tree *t); /* Flags controlling how notes are formatted */ #define NOTES_SHOW_HEADER 1 #define NOTES_INDENT 2 +#define NOTES_DASH 4 #define NOTES_DEFAULT (NOTES_SHOW_HEADER | NOTES_INDENT) /* @@ -284,6 +285,8 @@ void init_display_notes(struct display_notes_opt *opt); * * - NOTES_INDENT: indent the notes by 4 places * + * - NOTES_DASH: prepend a "---" line + * * You *must* call init_display_notes() before using this function. */ void format_display_notes(const unsigned char *object_sha1, -- 1.7.5.270.gafca7 -- 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
