From abda5227770b39bb4abd8f0b4c1a0f69c2778300 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Shawn O. Pearce" Date: Mon, 7 May 2007 22:57:15 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Use .git/MERGE_MSG in cherry-pick/revert Rather than storing the temporary commit message data in .msg (in the working tree) we now store the message data in .git/MERGE_MSG. By storing the message in the .git/ directory we are sure we will never have a collision with a user file, should a project actually have a ".msg" file in their top level tree. We also don't need to worry about leaving this stale file behind during a `reset --hard` and have it show up in the output of status. We are using .git/MERGE_MSG here to store the temporary message as it is an already established convention between git-merge, git-am and git-rebase that git-commit will default the user's edit buffer to the contents of .git/MERGE_MSG. If the user is going to need to resolve this commit or wants to edit the message on their own prepping that file with the desired message "just works". Signed-off-by: Shawn O.
