Hello all,
Am I correct in thinking that the new template messages that will be
in the up and coming git release will alleviate an "annoyance" I've
currently got with commit messages?
Basically, I want a way of removing what is now, a long list of
untracked files from the commit message before it hits the editor --
I've looked at $GIT_DIR/.git/hooks/{pre,post}-commit as well as:
$GIT_DIR/.git/hooks/commit-msg in the hopes I could add a sed command
there to remove the list of files, and whilst the sed command worked
fine on the command line, adding it to any of those files didn't.
Was this even the right approach? I didn't want to go messing with
git-commit, frankly, so I am hoping that these new templates might
just do the trick.
You might ask why I've got such a large list of untracked files -- the
reason is because I use the same repository to build files in, which
themselves have no need to be added. And whilst I can catch some of
these instances by using .gitignore, it's not enough since not all of
the files have a common extension or anything. And whilst I realise
the list of untracked file is just a friendly warning to me, I find it
annoying and would rather it didn't appear at all if possible, since I
know myself which files need explicitly adding. :)
Hope that makes sense, at least. :)
Kindly,
Thomas Adam
