hehehe, that's a lot of work for a simple thing. Drop the git-commit -m flag and use -F instead to add the commit log from a file (or use neither and git-commit will bring up an editor).

I haven't tried it, but according to the online help, -F sets the commit *message*, which is the one-line text that becomes the subject line. git-commit.txt contains the block of text that appears above the "diff" line.

You can also use -s to add your signoff line too.

I do use -s:

PATCHFILE=`git-format-patch -s $IGNOREEOL HEAD^ `
