I should be pretty easy to just append the contents of multiple fies, even inter-mingled with -m options. We just do a callback like Johannes just did for -m in builtin-commit.c for -F and append to the same strbuf. strbuf_read() already appends, so the callback could look something like: static int opt_parse_F(const struct option *opt, const char *arg, int unset) { struct strbuf *buf = opt->value; if (!strcmp(arg, "-")) { if (isatty(0)) fprintf(stderr, "(reading log message from standard input)\n"); if (strbuf_read(&sb, 0, 0) < 0) die("could not read log from standard input"); } else { if (strbuf_read_file(&sb, logfile, 0) < 0) die("could not read log file '%s': %s", logfile, strerror(errno)); } } Shouldn't be too hard :) Kristian - 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
