Subject: b4 and abbrevCommit
Date: Fri, 23 Dec 2022 17:22:27 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <01304af2-3412-8385-3336-4dda9104336e@worldbroken.com> (raw)
I've discovered that b4 will not work correctly if you have abbrevCommit
set in your .gitconfig file. For example, a simple 'b4 prep
--edit-cover' will result in the cover letter not actually changing.
You'll get the edit process and such, but after the fact the commit with
the cover letter will still be the default one that b4 creates.
I assume all calls to git log and git show need the --no-abbrev-commit
option. Or at least this gotcha should be documented.
