From fdc7c81111a2ca8d97b8b45e260d7a4e737c8766 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff King Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2008 03:36:09 -0400 Subject: Compact commit template message We recently let the user know explicitly that an empty commit message will abort the commit. However, this adds yet another line to the template; let's rephrase and re-wrap so that this fits back on two lines. This patch also makes the "fatal: empty commit message?" warning a bit less scary, since this is now a "feature" instead of an error. However, we retain the non-zero exit status to indicate to callers that nothing was committed.
