I'll change cg-commit to always include the name/email fields in its template. I think it's verbose enough as it is now, though, and I don't want it to bloat it with more generic help text. I've expanded the documentation of cg-commit on the GIT_ variables and that ought to be enough. :-) -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ If you want the holes in your knowledge showing up try teaching someone. -- Alan Cox - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Tue Sep 20 02:35:14 2005
