[RFC] git: make signoff header configurable

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

 



When using -s for commit, revert, and format-patch (there
may be more) command the comments message gets a generated
and hard-coded signed-off-by message. For some projects a
different header is used, eg. HostAP. Adding a config parameter
named 'signoff.label'.

Signed-off-by: Arend van Spriel <arend@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

I had an itch to scratch. Like the -s command line parameter to
get the signed-off message added, but not all projects use the
same signature format. So let me know what you think about this
idea. Never contributed to git before so decided to make it an
RFC first as this solution may be a bit hack-ish.

Regards,
Arend
