[GSOC PATCH 0/2] commit: improve behaviour of core.commentChar=auto for comments in commit messages

From: Ayush Chandekar <hidden>
Date: 2025-07-15 18:52:05

Hey everyone,

The aim of this patch series is to improve the behaviour of core.commentChar=auto by the following patches:
1/2 - Fix a bug which reads comment character of the comments in commit message leading to change in the value of `comment_line_str` and thus resulting the comments in the final commit message.
2/2 - Standardizes the behaviour of code by resetting the 'comment_line_str' to "#" when core.commentChar is set to auto. 

Thanks to Junio, Phillip and Kristoffer for reviewing the patches and also Christian for the reviews and mentoring me.

  commit: avoid scanning trailing comments when 'core.commentChar' is
    "auto"
  config: set comment_line_str to "#" when core.commentChar=auto
