The problem is that when doing interactive editing of messages (like 'git commit --amend' does), git considers '#' as a comment-character. You can disable this by using the --cleanup=verbatim switch (or some other suiting cleanup-setting, see 'git help commit'). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
