Hi Greg.

Could you detail a bit more your problem description?
I've not seen this problem nor understand what you mean.

I've not seen a bug report on the git mailing list either.

Thanks, Joe

A normal commit description would be:
   <subject>

   <description>

   <signed-off-by>

You get the "running subject" effect if instead you do:
   <subject>
   <description>
   <signed-off-by>

I.e, if you omit an empty line after the subject line.

Cheers,
FJP
