Re: [PATCHv2] commit: make default of "cleanup" option configurable

From: Junio C Hamano <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:55:42

Ralf Thielow [off-list ref] writes:
The default of the "cleanup" option in "git commit"
is not configurable. Users who don't want to use the
default have to pass this option on every commit since
there's no way to configure it. This commit introduces
a new config option "commit.cleanup" which can be used
to change the default of the "cleanup" option in
"git commit".

When the documentation suggests to use 'whitespace', it would be
helpful to warn the readers that hints Git produces in '#'-commented
section need to be removed, if they are not ment to be kept (which
is 99.99% of the case).  Perhaps:

or something?
