It is also helpful for reviewers if you include a reference to the previous iteration, like this: https://public-inbox.org/git/450140f4-d410-4f1a-e5c1-c56d345a7f7c@xxxxxxxx/T/#u Cc:'ing reviewers of previous iterations is also good etiquette when submitting a new version. > - I'll post another series to fix the misleading messages in both commit.c and tag.c when launch_editor fails Typically, it's easier on Junio, from a patch management standpoint, if you submit all these related patches as a single series. Alternately, if you do want to submit those changes separately, before the current patch lands in "master", be sure to mention atop which patch (this one) the additional patch(es) should live.

You probably ought to add this new option to the command synopsis. In the git-commit man page, the synopsis mentions only '-e' (not --edit), so perhaps this man page could mirror that one.

However, consistency also has value, and since this test script is filled with this sort of stylized "expect" setup already, this may be fine, and probably not worth a re-roll. (A "modernization" patch by someone can come later if warranted.) > +test_expect_success 'set up editor' ' > + write_script fakeeditor <<-\EOF > + sed -e "s/A message/An edited message/g" <"$1" >"$1-" > + mv "$1-" "$1" > + EOF > +'
