I don't know what the right choice is here, but it's going to be a
VC-by-VC thing. This was added so that *if* there is a pre-filled
commit message, then we pick it up. In other words, if, when you went
to git commit from the command line, there would have already been a
commit message waiting for you to edit, then we try to use that. For
reference, this was added to fix
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=699400.

Yeah, there's duplication because until a couple of weekends ago we
needed the blah_command functions for sensitivity setting. Any
duplicates of those can now be removed as long as the module
implements update_actions_for_paths().

I'm happy to go where ever, but why don't we keep it here for now, so
that if anyone else wants to put their hand up then we have records of
stuff. (I try to keep  the github mirror up-to-date, but Gnome git is
still the canonical reference for development.) Having said that, if
you want to comment on specific pieces of code on github, then  I can
see how that makes sense.


For reference, my priorities right now are to try and mash our VC
handling into somewhat better shape, clean up, and release a new
stable series. This would be the last GTK+ 2 release series, and we'd
then *finally* start moving to GTK 3 (and accompanying migrations) and
breaking things.

cheers,
Kai
