Hi, Just saw this in Documentation/git-commit-tree.txt at line 75: A commit comment is read from stdin (max 999 chars). If a changelog But from looking at the code it appears there is no such limit.

If I'm not missing something, I'd suggest removing that bit in parens. hth, Geoff - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
