I'm actually sort of against changing the behavior of git-commit -f to mean "delete the file". We never did that before. Users might get surprised when their file goes away! What about this change instead? We make cherry-pick/revert use the same temporary file as merge, which is under .git/ (something Alex mentioned he wanted). I think the use of ".msg" in cherry-pick/revert has always just been a bug, and not a feature, so I'm really not against changing things around like this. diff --git a/builtin-revert.c b/builtin-revert.c index 4ba0ee6..67c13a3 100644 --- a/builtin-revert.c +++ b/builtin-revert.c @@ -237,6 +237,7 @@ static int revert_or_cherry_pick(int argc, const char **argv) int i; char *oneline, *reencoded_message = NULL; const char *message, *encoding; + const char *defmsg = git_path("MERGE_MSG"); git_config(git_default_config); me = action == REVERT ?
