If you want to remove the message, then explain why in the commit message. If you do not test for head_commit to be null, you can't use it in the error message. But from the context, it seems you can use head_sha1. If not, a message like "Could not parse HEAD commit" seems better than nothing. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- 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
