Yes, that is what I meant in my earlier suggestion. More like char *hint_cleanup_all = _("Please enter the ... , and an empty message aborts the commit.\n"); char *hint_cleanup_space = _("Please enter the ... if you want to.\n" "An empty message aborts the commit.\n"); if (allow_empty_message) { hint_cleanup_all = _("..."); hint_cleanup_space = _("..."); } ... the if/elseif cascade in which calls to status_printf() are made ... using these variables Thanks.
