Re: Reference to a commit inside a commit message
You should use the latest version of the patch series (v11), because the blank line is now automatically added. Yes interpret-trailers add the blank line, but when call `git commit -m $MSG -e` it isn't displayed. I think this happens due to the default value of 'cleanup' option of git-commit that is 'strip' (in my case) when the message is edited. I can't use neither 'verbatim' nor 'whitespace' otherwise all the comments will be displayed. And using ':' instead of '=' after see-also would be more standard. Thanks I've updated my script and now I'm using the latest interpret-trailers.

Re: Reference to a commit inside a commit message
Thanks to all. With interpret-trailers has been easy to make a simple script, also it checks if the Hash passed is a valid Object. I haven't found a simple way to mantain the blank line above the output of interpet-trailers (not even through cleanup). Follows the script, maybe could be usefull for somebody: #!/bin/sh for i in $* do git show $i /dev/null if [ $? = 0 ] then trailers+= see-also=$i fi done msg=$(cat /dev/null | ../git-interpret-trailers $trailers) git commit -m $msg -e -- 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
Reference to a commit inside a commit message
Hi to all, I'm trying to figure out what is the best way (and if it exists) to link a message of a commit to another commit. I start by saying I don't know Git very well so maybe this question can be very trival for someone but I've googled and searched into the Mailing List with little success. The goal would be to be able to refer to a specific commit (or a set of it) through its Hash in order to justify some actions done in a commit, mantaining the message compact. Obviously I don't mean to put the raw Hash, rather I would be happy to find a way to automatize the visits and the insertions of the commits inside the message. What I mean is what Gitweb do, naturally adapted for the use of Git through shell. For example, thinking about it, I've imagined to add this feature to `git commit`: git commit --see-also commit1 commit2 ... that adds a label (like Signed-off-by) such as: See-also: 1: commit 1 2: commit 2 ... And, to other side, `git show` could have a feature like this: git show commit --see-also 1 that simply call `git show commit-1`. So, there is a better way to obtain a behaviour like this? Has ever been discussed the possibility of implementing a similar feature? and There is a way to handle a similar behaviour through Hooks?

Jonathan mentioned already that we typically just do this by hand[1], though look on the list for the interpret-trailers work being done by Christian. It would make it very easy to add: See-also: lines to the bottom of your commit using a command like the above. I don't know if it would be easy to convert refnames into commit ids with it or not.
