One would expect 'git commit --verbose --no-status' to give a commit message with a diff of the commit, sans the output of git-status. However, this does not work currently; the commit message body is entirely empty (diff is absent as well). This patch series attempts to make this work, as one would expect. [PATCH 1/3] rename STATUS_FORMAT_NONE to STATUS_FORMAT_DEFAULT We first rename STATUS_FORMAT_NONE to *_DEFAULT, so that we can use it to mean "no status output at all". [PATCH 2/3] extract setting of wt_status.commitable flag out of wt_status_print_updated() Currently, the wt_status.commitable flag is set only when we call wt_status_print(). * Extract this logic, so that we don't have to go through the git-status output code. * In fact, it is not set when --short or --porcelain are used. This series does not attempt to fix the bug, though it should be trivial to do so with this patch. [PATCH 3/3] make commit --verbose work with --no-status Actual work here. -- 1.9.0.291.g027825b -- 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
