[PATCH 1/2] Reorganization of git-commit-script

From
Jon Seymour <jon.seymour@gmail.com>
Date
Jun 15, 2005, 05:45 UTC
Message-ID
<20050615054530.9963.qmail@blackcubes.dyndns.org>

This change re-organizes git-commit-script to break out the different phases of execution into separate bash functions.

The main body is now:
if ! print_status > .editmsg; then
	# error handling
fi
if edit_message .editmsg .cmitmsg; then
	exec_commit .cmitmsg
	# cleanup
fi

The subsequent patch in this series adds support for an optional .nextmsg file to enable the pre-population of commit message text by external tools.
