I have got the impression that this wording might need another bit of fine-tuning. > + "Please use git commit description style '$prefix <12+ chars of sha1> (\"<$title>\")' - ie: '${init_char}" . substr($prefix, 1) . " $id (\"$description\")'\n" . $herecurr); I imagine that the support for different quotation characters can become helpful, can't it? Regards, Markus
