If "--notes=..." is used with "git format-patch", the notes are prefixed with the ref's local name and indented, which looks odd and exposes the path of the ref. Extend the test that suppresses this behaviour so that it also catches this case, causing the notes to be included without additional processing. Signed-off-by: Sam Bobroff <sam.bobroff@xxxxxxxxxxx> --- Notes (foo): Hi, I've noticed what appears to be a small cosmetic bug in git format-patch, as I've described in the commit message. I'm not sure if this patch is the right way to fix it (or perhaps it's not even a bug), but it should at least help to explain what I'm talking about. I've used "git format-patch --notes=foo" to prepare this email so that it is an example of the issue :-) Cheers, Sam. log-tree.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/log-tree.c b/log-tree.c index 410ab4f02..26bc21ad3 100644 --- a/log-tree.c +++ b/log-tree.c @@ -655,7 +655,8 @@ void show_log(struct rev_info *opt) int raw; struct strbuf notebuf = STRBUF_INIT; - raw = (opt->commit_format == CMIT_FMT_USERFORMAT); + raw = (opt->commit_format == CMIT_FMT_USERFORMAT) || + (opt->commit_format == CMIT_FMT_EMAIL); format_display_notes(&commit->object.oid, ¬ebuf, get_log_output_encoding(), raw); ctx.notes_message = notebuf.len -- 2.11.0
