It should behave as if the editor was spawned and the user did not change the content of the commit message. Use case: First, you merge ordinarily, that is, you review the signature and the contents, and you are satisfied. Shortly later, you discover that a fix should be applied before the merge. So you rewind the branch before the merge, and commit the fix. Now you can repeat the merge with --no-edit because you have already seen the contents. Contrived? Dunno. -- Hannes -- 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
