Re: [PATCH v2 0/4] Deprecate "not allow as-is commit with i-t-a entries"

2012/2/7 Junio C Hamano [off-list ref]:

But when I said "let's admit that this is just fixing an UI mistake, no
configuration, no options", I really meant it.  Without the backward
compatiblity "For now please do not fix this bug for me and keep being
buggy until I get used to the non-buggy behaviour" fuss, which we never do
to any bugfix.

Ahh I missed something again. Your patch looks good too.

That is how we are planning to handle "git merge" update to spawn editor
in interactive session in the next release. There is no "Please keep the
buggy behaviour" option; only an environment variable to help when we
mistake a scripted use as interactive, whose support is not going away
because it is not about "until I get used to the new behaviour".
