[PATCH 1/3] finish_copy_notes_for_rewrite(): Let caller provide commit message

From
Johan Herland <johan@herland.net>
Date

Message-ID
<1370995981-1553-2-git-send-email-johan@herland.net>
In-Reply-To
<1370995981-1553-1-git-send-email-johan@herland.net>

When copying notes for a rewritten object, the resulting notes commit would have the following hardcoded commit message:

  Notes added by 'git notes copy'

This is obviously bogus when the notes rewriting is performed by 'git commit --amend'.

Therefore, let the caller specify an appropriate notes commit message instead of hardcoding it. The above message is used for 'git notes copy', but when calling finish_copy_notes_for_rewrite() from builtin/commit.c, we use the following message instead:

  Notes added by 'git commit --amend'
