Dear diary, on Fri, Jul 22, 2005 at 12:37:05PM CEST, I got a letter where Catalin Marinas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> told me that... > > Cogito seems to use $GIT_DIR/commit-template for that purpose. > > Can't users put that "vim:" hint there, and if StGIT does not > > use a commit template, patch it to use the same file as Cogito > > does? > > I would use a neutral commit template, only that it should have a > neutral prefix as well for the lines to be removed (neither STG nor CG > but GIT maybe). The $GIT_DIR/commit-template is fine as a file name.
This unfortunately isn't that simple, since this file substitutes only the CG: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CG: Lines beginning with the CG: prefix are removed automatically. snippet of the file. The trouble is, Cogito autogenerates most of the rest of it. Would the acceptable solution be that I would have @[EMAIL PROTECTED] placeholders there, and any tool processing the file would simply drop lines containing @ directives it does not understand? (@@ is escaped @) I have nothing against changing the prefix to GIT:. Then, Cogito's default commit-template would look like GIT: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- GIT: Lines beginning with the GIT: prefix are removed automatically. GIT: GIT: Author: @AUTHOR_NAME@ GIT: Email: @AUTHOR_EMAIL@ GIT: Date: @AUTHOR_DATE@ GIT:@CG_SHOWFILES@@CG_NOMERGE@ GIT:@CG_SHOWFILES@@CG_NOMERGE@ By deleting lines beginning with GIT:F, the associated file GIT:@CG_SHOWFILES@@CG_NOMERGE@ will be removed from the commit list. GIT:@CG_SHOWFILES@ GIT:@CG_SHOWFILES@ Modified files: GIT:@[EMAIL PROTECTED] @FILELIST@ GIT: ----------------------------------------------------------------------- GIT: vim: textwidth=75 (where CG_SHOWFILES is defined only when the list of the files is to be shown and CG_NOMERGE only when there is no merge going on). -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ If you want the holes in your knowledge showing up try teaching someone. -- Alan Cox - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
