Not sure if this is needed to avoid it trying to run an editor. Probably
there is never a controlling terminal and probably git notices and does
nothing. But I'm just copying what I have in git-annex assistant here.
(Although with a much worse git version comparion, that only really works due
to luck.)
# Force git to allow empty commit messages.
# (If this version of git supports it.)
my ($version)=`git --version` =~ /git version (.*)/;
# Force git to allow empty commit messages.
# (If this version of git supports it.)
my ($version)=`git --version` =~ /git version (.*)/;
+ if ($version ge "1.7.8") {
+ push @opts, "--allow-empty-message", "--no-edit";
+ }
if ($version ge "1.7.2") {
push @opts, "--allow-empty-message";
}
if ($version ge "1.7.2") {
push @opts, "--allow-empty-message";
}
* Deal with git behavior change in 1.7.2 and newer that broke support
for commits with an empty commit message.
