Assuming this github move is going to be permanent... The new format of commit messages makes the "Problem:" line really long in some cases. While `hg log` doesn't soft-wrap lines in its display, `git log` does not, which makes its output really hard to read.
Bram, I agree that `git log` stinks, but there's nothing we can do about that. I don't think it's right to make users open up a web-browser in order to see a readable log. It's a pain to change your preferred style of commit message, but it looks like an unavoidable cost of moving to git. Please do one of the following: 1. Return to the old commit message format, but when a Problem/Solution line has to continue on a second logical line, make the indent be spaces instead of tabs; also enforce a hard wrap in the commit messages of around 65-70 characters. 2. Alter the format more radically, e.g. so that the first line looks like: "Patch 7.4.888: Hammer another nail just to be safe", and put the Problem down below. 3. Drop the move to github. (1) is the path of least modification. Wait, actually (3) is :) -Manny -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
