For consistency and increased code reuse, change format: to do the same as the other options.What's wrong with using the first line instead of the first paragraph for the other pretty options and for cases where only a small subject line is desired?
There were too many issues. The mail archive tells us that there were considerable discussions and thoughts behind the current behavior: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/49694/focus=49922 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/46341/focus=46818 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/54020/focus=54132 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/21949/focus=21987 The last message mentions a bug in "git rebase" that internally uses "git am" when replaying the changes. It was corrected later with: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.sh.devel/3833/focus=79735 Reading the discussion in the messages in this thread will help understanding the issues, after understanding why "the first line" was problematic, as discussed in the other threads. -- Nanako Shiraishi http://ivory.ap.teacup.com/nanako3/
