Re: [U-Boot] git merge summary

Hello,

may I ask again for opinions about enabling that feature?

Alexander

Hi Alexander,

...

may I ask if there is reason why merge commits don't have a summary?

Yes, you may. Actually this is a good question.

...

I find those summaries (enabled with git config [--global] merge.summary true) very hand to see what was changed with the merge commit.

I didn't even know about that feature, so thanks for poking us. Checking the documentation, it seems like the name will change soon however (man git-fmt-merge-msg):

    merge.summary
        Synonym to merge.log; this is deprecated and will be removed
        in the future.

But apart from that, I also like the feature. Wolfgang, what do you think?

Cheers Detlev
