Hi folks,

I often have to copy+paste commit messages from tig (when putting changes into TFS manually ;-o), and the 4-spaces indention is quite unhandy here. Is there a way to switch it off ?

You could use git cat-file instead.

Why not configure a keybinding to run a small shell script, where you can use xclip or something similar to copy to the clipboard?

The following .git/config example abuses a git alias (in place of a shell script) to output the raw commit text when P is pressed:

[tig "bind"]
  generic = P !git copy-commit-message %(commit)
[alias]
  copy-commit-message = !"git log --format=%B -1"
