so that an ugly commit message like this can be handled sanely. Currently, --pretty=oneline and --pretty=email (hence format-patch) take and use only the first line of the commit log message. This changes them to: - Take the first paragraph, where the definition of the first paragraph is "skip all blank lines from the beginning, and then grab everything up to the next empty line". - Replace all line breaks with a whitespace. This change would not affect a well-behaved commit message that adheres to the convention of "single line summary, a blank line, and then body of message", as its first paragraph always consists of a single line. Commit messages from different culture, such as the ones imported from CVS/SVN, can however get chomped with the existing behaviour at the first linebreak in the middle of sentence right now, which would become much easier to see with this change. The Subject: and --pretty=oneline output would become very long and unsightly for non-conforming commits, but their messages are already ugly anyway, and thischange at least avoids the loss of information. The Subject: line from a multi-line paragraph is folded using RFC2822 line folding rules at the places where line breaks were in the original. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// GIT - the stupid content tracker //////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "git" can mean anything, depending on your mood. - random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant. - stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang. - "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room. - "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals. Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License. It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano. Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions. See Documentation/tutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and "man git-commandname" for documentation of each command. CVS users may also want to read Documentation/cvs-migration.txt. Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git.or.cz/ including full documentation and Git related tools. The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites. The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
