Hi,
I was committing this way forever.

But today git failed: [yuri@yv /usr/ports/devel/catch2]$ /usr/local/bin/git commit --verbose . -m "devel/catch2: update 3.13.0 → 3.14.0" [yuri@yv /usr/ports/devel/catch2]$ echo $? 1 [yuri@yv /usr/ports/devel/catch2]$ /usr/local/bin/git --version git version 2.54.0

No error messages, no verbose messages, just failure ... What might be wrong?

OS: FreeBSD 15 STABLE amd64

Thanks, Yuri
