I understand that, but the subject line of this thread says "e-mail subject lines", so I thought we were talking about, well, exactly that; and I see no value of these tags in e-mails either. (They might have a low but non-zero value for projects that use a single mailing list for patches and generic discussion, but we are not such project) Basically: if they are deemed to clutter the git log for whatever reason, then there must be a very good argument for why they not also clutter e-mail subject lines, but instead are essential to have there, but not in the log. > 'git am' would strip leading [...] automatically unless > you've configured, or asked git to do otherwise. So that leading part > is not counted for the length calculation. There's still e-mail netiquette which also should be obeyed, or at least not contradicted by git netiquette. Ciao, Michael.
