From 30c7bb249e9b2038dd05271e055d347f84336576 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Wed, 23 Nov 2005 09:57:54 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Allow editing of a revert-message I think all commit operations should allow editing of the message (ie we should do this for merges too), but that's _particularly_ true of doing a "git revert". We should always explain why we needed to revert something. This patch adds a "-e" or "--edit" flag to "git revert", although I actually suspect it should be on by default (and we should have a "--no-edit" flag to disable it, probably together with an automatic disable if stdin isn't a terminal).
