Re: Some Commit Messages Scare git-rev-list

Fixed like so..

Thanks.

However, your script shows another problem: the "#" added at the end of 
the line for a 

	echo -n "duh" | git-commit -F - -a

seems to be because we append the "git status" output to it, and then we 
drop the lines that start with a '#', but due to the "-n", the first # 
ends up being at the end of the line. 

I suspect that when we get the commit message like that, we should _not_ 
do any of the commit message editing at all.

True.

[PATCH] git-commit: do not muck with commit message when no_edit is set.

Spotted by Linus and Darrin Thompson.  When we took a commit
message from -F <file> with an incomplete line, we appended "git
status" output, which ended up attaching a lone "#" at the end.

We still need the "do we have anything to commit?" check by
running "status" (which has to know what to do in different
cases with -i/-o/-a), but there is no point appending its output
to the proposed commit message given by the user.
