I'm not sure what between --obey or --ignore will help most to write good commit message. I (as a maintainer myself or as a contributor) usually prefer to --amend a commit rather than play with copy/paste or starting from scratch. So, I tend to agree even if the reasons are not exactly the same. :-) That said, I don't bother what is the default that much. The main purpose is to have the choice. For people who _really_ want to obey to scissors by default I'll add an option to git-config. Whithout more comments, I'll add scissors.obey . -- Nicolas Sebrecht
