RE: Is this a bug?

Hi,

I wrote a commit message beginning with a hash (#) character, like this: 'git commit -m "#ifdef ...." '

Everything went okay when committing, but then I tried 'git commit -amend' and without editing the commit message I was told I had an empty commit message.

Is this a problem with my text editor (vim 7.2) or git itself? (git version 1.7.2.2 under RedHat 5.8) Or something I'm not supposed to do ;-) ?

Thanks!
