My expected behavior (based on old versions): git commit --fixup <hash> /// No editor git commit --fixup <hash> --edit /// Editor As far as I can see your change would display an editor in both cases. An alternative would be: + if (logfile || have_option_m || use_message || fixup_message) + use_editor = 0; + if (0 <= edit_flag) + use_editor = edit_flag; That would fix the above cases but in "commit: add amend suboption to --fixup to create amend! commit" the implementation left git commit --fixup amend:<hash> // Editor and I didn't want to change that. But if the default should be no editor here as well then the above would be a better patch. /JK
