Hello!
git-1.8.4.4
The manpage for git-pull mentions -m in a comment:
--edit, -e, --no-edit Invoke an editor before committing successful mechanical merge to further edit the auto-generated merge message, so that the user can explain and justify the merge. The --no-edit option can be used to accept the auto-generated message (this is generally discouraged). The --edit (or -e) option is still useful if you are giving a draft message with the -m option from the command line and want to edit it in the editor.
but it is not accepted actually:
git pull --no-edit -m 'Restoring config etc from server' \ origin server/GITCONFIG/master fatal: No such remote or remote group: Restoring config etc from server
I'm not sure whether it is a bug of the implementation or of the documentation.
(I've also written down this issue at https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29718 .)
Best regards, Ivan
