Just copy it into .git/hooks/. Can also fetch the latest version directly from cgit; lwhsu added this to https://github.com/bsdimp/freebsd-git-docs/blob/main/URLs.md: fetch https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/plain/tools/tools/git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg -o .git/hooks chmod 755 .git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg I'd like us to end up with a setup-repo.sh or such that will offer to take care of all of these things. >Also, this seems too complicated.

For one thing, the provided template is placed at the top of the message, followed by the default message, but our addition is really commented-out information and fits best in the middle of the existing text - after the "Please enter the..." and before the list of changes and such. With config.template we'd end up with something like: ==== # PR: <If and which Problem Report is related.> # ... # Differential Revision: <https://reviews.freebsd.org/D###> # # Please enter the commit message for your changes. Lines starting # with '#' will be ignored, and an empty message aborts the commit. # # ... ==== Additionally we might want to make some more programmatic changes in the default message (depending on the resolution of some open questions). For example we could strip the "MFC after" line that's copied from the original commit, when preparing the commit message for a MFC/cherry-pick. _______________________________________________ svn-src-all@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-all To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-all-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
