The above reads better without "; the reason is the same as in that commit"---"Similar to", combined with the clean and concise explanation after the colon you have, sufficiently justifies why this is a good change.

Without such a change id, Gerrit refuses I do not live in Gerrit land and I do not know which one is the more preferred one, but be consistent between "change-id" and "change id". > to accept (merge) commits by default, such that the inconsistency of > (not) running commit-msg hook between commit and merge leads to confusion > and might block people from getting their work done. Yup. Nicely explained. I didn't check how "merge --continue" is implemented, but we need to behave exactly the same way over there, too. Making sure that it is a case in t7504 may be a good idea, in addition to the test you added. > Signed-off-by: Stefan Beller <sbeller@xxxxxxxxxx> > --- > builtin/merge.c | 8 ++++++++ > t/t7504-commit-msg-hook.sh | 45 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- > 2 files changed, 49 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) > > diff --git a/builtin/merge.c b/builtin/merge.c > index 7df3fe3927..087efd560d 100644 > --- a/builtin/merge.c > +++ b/builtin/merge.c > @@ -73,6 +73,7 @@ static int show_progress = -1; > static int default_to_upstream = 1; > static int signoff; > static const char *sign_commit; > +static int no_verify; > > static struct strategy all_strategy[] = { > { "recursive", DEFAULT_TWOHEAD | NO_TRIVIAL }, > @@ -236,6 +237,7 @@ static struct option builtin_merge_options[] = { > N_("GPG sign commit"), PARSE_OPT_OPTARG, NULL, (intptr_t) "" }, > OPT_BOOL(0, "overwrite-ignore", &overwrite_ignore, N_("update ignored files (default)")), > OPT_BOOL(0, "signoff", &signoff, N_("add Signed-off-by:")), > + OPT_BOOL(0, "no-verify", &no_verify, N_("bypass pre-commit and commit-msg hooks")), This allows "--no-no-verify", which may want to be eventually addressed (either by changing the code not to accept, or declaring that it is an intended behaviour); I do not offhand know for sure but I strong suspect "commit" shares the same issue, in which case this patch is perfectly fine and addressing "--no-no-verify" should be done for both of them in a separate follow-up topic. #leftoverbits Thanks. I'll be online starting today, but please expect slow responses for a few days as there is significant backlog.
