[PATCH 3/3] Adds support to git-commit-script for an optional .nextmsg file. [rev 4]

From: Jon Seymour <jon.seymour@gmail.com>
Date: Jun 15, 2005, 14:38 UTC
Message-ID: <20050615143814.27266.qmail@blackcubes.dyndns.org>

If ${GIT_DIR}/.nextmsg exists, the text will be copied into the .editmsg file together with a sentinel line prior to invoking the editor.

After editing, the edited text (but not the status lines) are saved back to the ${GIT_DIR}/.nextmsg file.

If the sentinel line still exists in .editmsg after editing, the file is truncated, thereby causing the commit to abort (per previous behaviour).

The ${GIT_DIR}/.nextmsg file is deleted if, and only if, the commit was successful.

The behaviour of git-commit-script is unchanged with respect to the previous versions if ${GIT_DIR}/.nextmsg does not exist.
