Hello,
in rare cases I want to write commit messages with leading # sign and
for these messages I call “git commit --cleanup==whitespace”. So far,
so good.
Now I want to rebase - modify (edit) the commit message of an old
commit, or squash a commit, which has leading # in its comment. I
cannot pass --cleanup=whitespace and this is the problem description
here — the #-lines disappear after rebase (edit/squash operations).
In theory I could set the commit.cleanup configuration parameter (in
.gitconfig), but I prefer not to do this, as I do not want to disable
permanently the stripping of lines with leading # in git commit
messages.
Please add --cleanup= option to the rebase command.
I use here the command-line git client 2.39.2, not a GUI or whatsoever.
Kind regards
