Re: inaccurate commit message message?

Heya,

The documentation, both in man git-commit and in the commit message

Correct.

My proposal is to make it less misleading, by saying in at least one,
and ideally both, of those places what you just told me for the first
time: when you do a git commit --verbose, the diff lines and
everything after will be ignored for the commit message.

Sounds like a good idea. See builtin/commit.c around line 660. You'll
want to check for the verbose flag and adjust the message printed
there accordingly. See Documentation/SubmittingPatches.txt on how to
submit patches.

Please do ask if you have any questions, I'd be glad to help.
