Hi! I like to do $git fetch <URL> $git log FETCH_HEAD $git merge FETCH_HEAD I would expect this to be equivalent to git pull <URL> However, the message that git merge produces in this case is less than informative: commit 3c11f564846227d80aa76b579c974913c3602862 Merge: 9871244... f5e6d63... Author: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu Jan 25 16:46:51 2007 +0200 Merge commit 'FETCH_HEAD' into ofed_1_2 I note that FETCH_HEAD actually has the information on where the commit came from: $cat .git/FETCH_HEAD f5e6d63839970f4785c36b6be3835f037e74195c ssh://<hidden>/usr/src/ofed_1_2 So can not git merge be enhanced to put this data in commit log?
Does it need to? Is the below enough (could be line-wrapped): git merge --no-commit FETCH_HEAD && \ git commit -M "Merge $(cut -d ' ' -f 2- < $(git rev-parse --git-dir)/FETCH_HEAD) \ into $(git name-rev HEAD | cut -d ' ' -f 2-)" In the long run you'll almost certainly find this commit message useless, though. - 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
