I haven't found time to revisit the patches yet but I have found another
unexpected behavior with git merge that is shown with these commands:
# git needs to be set up to sign commits with gpg
mkdir /tmp/test
cd /tmp/test
git init
git commit --allow-empty -m "Foo1"
git commit --allow-empty -m "Foo2"
git tag -s tag_foo -m "foooo!"
git checkout HEAD~1
git merge --no-ff --no-edit --log -m "Merge tag_foo" tag_foo
# git show
There are two problems with the resulting commit message:
* The newline between -m message and tag message is missing
* There's a big pgp signature (BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE) block included in the
commit message. When using an editor this would be removed because the text
starts with comments.
I don't think I have enough insight into where to fix this so I'd appreciate if
somebody else could fix it :)
Regards
Luca
