Re: [PATCH] Allow selection of different cleanup modes for commit messages

Linus Torvalds [off-list ref] writes:

So I wonder if we should perhaps:

 (a) Only add these messages at all when we do *not* do CLEANUP_ALL

I personally would prefer (a) - since anybody who then explicitly uses
--cleanup={space|none} would presumably already know what he is doing.

I thought about this a bit more, but then realized that people
would still want to see the status output in their editors.
This applies even to "verbatim" case.

Which means that they need to remove the '#' lines when they do
not use CLEANUP_ALL.

So I am inclined to suggest we need to take (b).
