From: Genki Sky Date: Sun, 4 Feb 2018 20:08:13 +0000 (-0500) Subject: rebase: add --allow-empty-message option X-Git-Tag: v2.17.0-rc0~84^2 X-Git-Url: https://git.lorimer.id.au/gitweb.git/diff_plain/a6c612b528a22fe9d4cad8807e36d18f2f0fea2c?hp=a6c612b528a22fe9d4cad8807e36d18f2f0fea2c rebase: add --allow-empty-message option This option allows commits with empty commit messages to be rebased, matching the same option in git-commit and git-cherry-pick. While empty log messages are frowned upon, sometimes one finds them in older repositories (e.g. translated from another VCS [0]), or have other reasons for desiring them. The option is available in git-commit and git-cherry-pick, so it is natural to make other git tools play nicely with them. Adding this as an option allows the default to be "give the user a chance to fix", while not interrupting the user's workflow otherwise [1]. [0]: https://stackoverflow.com/q/8542304 [1]: https://public-inbox.org/git/7vd33afqjh.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org/ To implement this, add a new --allow-empty-message flag. Then propagate it to all calls of 'git commit', 'git cherry-pick', and 'git rebase--helper' within the rebase scripts.
