Hi. I'm running a speciallized commit-msg hook to help me fill out commit messages. This all works nicely for alle commits except for merges. What I normally do to circumvent this is this : $ git merge somebranch <here I append to autogenerated message with my own text> $ git commit --ammend <I just save the message without changes and the commit-message is run throught my filter> Is that intentional or an error ? -- Søren Holm -- 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
