Re: edit Author/Date metadata as part of 'git commit' $EDITOR invocation?

Adam Megacz [off-list ref] writes:

I propose instead that "git commit -e" cause the metadata headers to be
provided to $EDITOR.  People who care about the metadata can simply get
in the habit of always passing that option when invoking "git commit".

That is already done by bb1ae3f (commit: Show committer if automatic,
2008-05-04), so there is no need to propose anything.

I see a bit of room for tightening logic in that ancient commit, though.
