I don't get this argument - I frequently write quite long descriptions inside the -m argument(s), since I just find it more convenient than having to edit it in an editor, for various reasons. So there is really no reason why the "-m is only for short single-liner commit messages" hypothesis could hold true. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ Ever try. Ever fail.
