[PATCH/RFC] fmt-merge-msg: add a blank line after people info

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The new "credit people" feature in fmt-merge-msg changed the format of
a typical "merge --log" message from

	Merge branch for-upstream of git://git.example.com/subsystem

	* for-upstream: (51 commits)
	  foo: bar baz

to

	Merge branch for-upstream of git://git.example.com/subsystem

	By C O Ntributor
	* for-upstream: (51 commits)
	  foo: bar baz

The message feels more natural with a line of breathing room before
the list of one-line descriptions headed by the branch name, like
messages already get when attached to a merge by "fmt-merge-msg -m" or
automatically incorporated during a merge of an annotated tag.

Turns out my reaction is pretty much the same as before.  I still like
the idea and still am distracted by the spacing.  After the small
patch below, the log seems peaceful again and I am totally fine with
it.

	Merge branch for-upstream of git://git.example.com/subsystem

	By Fred the Clown

	* for-upstream: (51 commits)
	  foo: bar baz

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
