Hi,
I don't know if this really counts as a bug but it is a little
annoying from a user experience point of view.
We're using an applypatch-msg hook to check that certain things
(reviewer, bug entry etc) are recorded correctly in commit messages.
My expectation is that if our applypatch-msg hook rejects a patch then
we should be able to invoke 'git am -i --continue' edit the message to
fixup the content and resume applying. However it seems even though I
can invoke 'git am -i --continue' to edit the message, the actual
patch contents are lost.
I'm guessing the problem is that the applypatch-msg hook is invoked
after the message part is saved but before the patch part is saved.
Alternatively the "problem" could be that I'm using a hook that is not
intended for this purpose, however the man page does say
"[applypatch-msg] can also be used to refuse the commit after
inspecting the message file".
Below is an example of this (if anyone has an idea on how to automate
the 'git am -i' part I'll be able to turn this into a proper test).
Thanks,
Chris
