I sometimes do a similar thing, but I don't use "cat". That will dump all of the log message (including the generated template) to stdout (i.e., the terminal), which is quite noisy. Instead, I use: GIT_EDITOR=true git commit --amend which silently leaves the file untouched. -Peff -- 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
