It seems that viewing the "changelog" style preserves the line-breaks in commit messages. http://isabelle.in.tum.de/repos/isabelle/log/ But the "shortlog" style doesn't; it concatenates everything onto one line. http://isabelle.in.tum.de/repos/isabelle/shortlog/ If most other Isabelle developers are like me, they probably look at the "shortlog" style most of the time, and the style of commit messages imitates what they see on the web interface. If you want people to use linebreaks in their commit messages, it would probably be a good idea to actually display them in the "shortlog" view. Maybe you could add the "addbreaks" filter to the shortlog theme in hgweb? http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/Theming - Brian _______________________________________________ Isabelle-dev mailing list [email protected] https://mailmanbroy.informatik.tu-muenchen.de/mailman/listinfo/isabelle-dev
