Trying. Edited a file in a freshly checked-out repo, then: $ git commit -e # On branch master # Changed but not updated: # (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) # (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory) # # modified: networking/Config.in # no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a") $ _ Editor did not start. How can I enter changelog text? -- vda _______________________________________________ uClibc mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/uclibc
