Cogito RFE: cg-commit -q

H. Peter Anvin· Oct 13, 2005, 17:45 UTC · lore

I would find it very useful if cg-commit had a "-q" option, meaning "silently skip this commit if there is nothing to commit." There are some automatic release scripts that I have which enforces consistency before release, but if the repository is already correctly set up for release, there is nothing to do.

This is the opposite of -f, which would create a commit object pointing to the same tree.

Thanks for the idea, implemented.
