I see there is an -m option but no --edit or the like. It would also make sense to have a config option for this to turn on spawning the editor by default, I think... If there is none, I am willing to take a stab at it. Unless you tell me that this will have no chance to go upstream. -- martin | http://madduck.net/ | http://two.sentenc.es/ a gourmet concerned about calories is like a punter eyeing the clock. spamtraps: madduck.bogus@madduck.net ``` ## Bill Lear, 2008-04-11 17:50 Subject: Re: edit merge commit message Message-ID: <18431.42219.921671.875700@lisa.zopyra.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/18431.42219.921671.875700%40lisa.zopyra.com In-Reply-To: <20080411171204.GA29738@lapse.madduck.net> ``` On Friday, April 11, 2008 at 19:12:04 (+0200) martin f krafft writes: >Hi folks > >Is there any way to edit the message of a merge prior to the commit? >I see there is an -m option but no --edit or the like.

I am sorry, I should have mentioned that --no-commit and --no-amend are not what I want. I just want git-merge --edit and then an editor spawns to let me edit the commit message right away... -- martin | http://madduck.net/ | http://two.sentenc.es/ "nothing can cure the soul but the senses, just as nothing can cure the senses but the soul." -- oscar wilde spamtraps: madduck.bogus@madduck.net ```
