Bug#467346: devscripts: [debcommit] Please run git add debian/changelog when git is used
debcommit: unable to determine commit message using git (do you mean debcommit -a or did you forget to run git add?) Try using the -m flag. Actually I didn't know about -a, I think that's just all I need to remember. What I did was something like dch git add d/changelog dch debcommit then you have something added already, so you can commit, but it's not the last edit you did. I had expected to be warned about this, or something like that... but I guess I should just get used to -a :) Cheers, Bernd -- Bernd Zeimetz [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bzed.de/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Apologies if I've misunderstood, as I must admit to not being a git user, but I believe this is exactly the situation for which we added the -a switch to debcommit. I've just had a look at the relevant section of debcommit while making another change. If a message was not passed using the --message parameter, debcommit will run git diff in order to look for uncommitted changes (with --cached unless -a was passed). If no uncommitted changes are found, debcommit should be failing with the message: debcommit: unable to determine commit message using git (do you mean debcommit -a or did you forget to run git add?)

Apologies if I've misunderstood, as I must admit to not being a git user, but I believe this is exactly the situation for which we added the -a switch to debcommit. From 2.10.6's changelog: * debcommit: When using git, allow either all files or only those in the index to be committed. Thanks to Martin F Kraft and Junichi Uekawa for the patch. (Closes: #402539, #427429, #433081) Without -a, debcommit uses git-diff --cached and git commit $files; with -a, it uses git-diff and git commit -a. Please see the discussion in #427429 for further details. Regards, Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
