yeah, I am aware of that. > vim does that with syntax highlighting automatically nowadays when it > notices you are writing a commit message. If you need an indication on > your line width, may I suggest you configure your editor appropriately? Oh, I’d be using vim as well, good to know that it does support git. I didn’t know that vim would be able to treat commit message line formatting for the first and the 3r+ lines differently with 50 and 72 chars respectively. >> # --[ Links to issues on MacPorts' trac ]------------------------------| >> #ISSUE: <full URL to trac ticket> >> #RESOLVES: <full URL to trac ticket> >> #BLOCKED BY: <full URL to trac ticket> > > You could have taken the time to actually adjust this to what MacPorts' > Trac instance accepts.

Yes, I could have, indeed, but I thought it was clear from my post that I was trying to start a discussion about it and that I didn’t intend to deliver a ready-made template with everything already prepared. Especially not because I knew you weren’t fond of the whole idea anyways. How right I was I see from the responses in this thread. ;-) >> # --[ Links to other pull requests at GitHub ]—------------------------| >> #PR: <PR ID> >> # >> ##EXAMPLE: >> # PR: #123 > > Could use the documented keywords GitHub accepts to handle pull requests > (you can close pull requests from commit messages!) I could have done this too, yes. But I didn’t know about this GitHub functionality up to now. > Additionally, I don't like the upper case keywords. Well, this was a trigger for a discussion about the topic of a template which potentially could make the committer’s life easier... But I understood in the meantime that I could have just used my spare time much better for other things than trying to care about such silly things like a commit template. I thought what KDE has is a good starting point and I believed MacPorts devs would see value in it. I have now been taught that I wasted my time and yours. Fine with me.
