It is sort of a bug, in a very peculiar: try amending such a commit _interactively_. It will not work. The reason: you are not supposed to start any line in a commit message with a '#'. I would actually have expected "git commit -m" to refuse such a line.

I think it's more reasonable to deal with them when filling in the commit message to the editor than in all the other places. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis The lyf so short, the craft so long to lerne. -- Chaucer ``` ## Alberto Leal, 2009-06-03 11:18 Subject: Re: git-rebase -i not escaping # at the beginning of the line Message-ID: <88ca9e240906030418x628ab5cap56ddf3fcc4ede78c@mail.gmail.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/88ca9e240906030418x628ab5cap56ddf3fcc4ede78c%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <20090603104718.GA10035-DDGJ70k9y3lX+M3pkMnKjw@public.gmane.org> ``` I`ve been using this and never had any problem.
