Previously the regular expression would remove the first set of square brackets regardless of what came before it. If a patch with a summary such as 'Added a[0] to a line' was passed through git-format-patch with the -k option then the summary would be cropped to 'to a line' when applied with git-am. The new regular expression also matches any number of 're:' prefixes which apparently can be generated by some old mail clients. The old regexp required that there be at least one set of square brackets before it would remove the 're:' and this is now fixed. --- builtin-mailinfo.c | 9 ++++----- 1 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) This patch is meant to apply on top of the two previous patches by Roger Leigh which are available here: http://marc.info/?l=git&m=124839483217718&w=2 http://marc.info/?l=git&m=124839483317722&w=2 It fixes some small problems as described above.
