git-gui is very good at composing commits. But for writing the actual commit message -- especially if it's long and needs paragraph reflowing, indentation, and so on -- I vastly prefer emacs over git-gui's text field. It seems to me like it would be straightforward to have a button or something to launch the user's favorite editor for editing of the commit message -- after all, git even knows what editor that is! Unfortunately, with my tcl expertise, this is likely a whole-weekend project, so I probably won't try to build it myself in the near future. -- Karl Hasselström, kha@xxxxxxxxxxx www.treskal.com/kalle - 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
