Yeah I agree with that. Also a blank line between paragraphs, but that goes without saying once you accept that we do not do a single line per paragraph. > Perhaps a nice way to make this a non-issue in the future would be an > option to "git am" to rewrap. No. There are cases where you do need to have a single oddball long line that you cannot flow. In a project that employs "am", the users of "am" are much more likely to become bottleneck than the senders of patches, and it does not make sense to have them spend cycles to decide if they want to let "am" do such wrapping. -- 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
