This isn't unique to Git for Windows, I just tested on Linux and the same occurs. What seems to happen is that git format-patch puts both lines in the subject of the e-mail, as you can find described here: https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-format-patch.html "By default, the subject of a single patch is "[PATCH] " followed by the concatenation of lines from the commit message up to the first blank line (see the DISCUSSION section of git-commit(1))." So, this is entirely intentional, it seems. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
