But why the extra %n at the end? The following seems to work well for me: diff --git a/git-commit.sh b/git-commit.sh index 9e0959a..f28fc24 100755 --- a/git-commit.sh +++ b/git-commit.sh @@ -649,8 +649,9 @@ then fi if test -z "$quiet" then + commit=`git-diff-tree --always --shortstat --pretty="format:%h: %s"\ + --summary --root HEAD --` echo "Created${initial_commit:+ initial} commit $commit" - git-diff-tree --shortstat --summary --root --no-commit-id HEAD -- fi fi -- MST
