Yes, I agree that could be a useful feature. Hence I'll forward this bug upstream as a wishlist item. >Combine this "feature" with my habit of using "-m 'changes made....'", >causes me problems every few months: If I press enter prematurely, and >have just one argument after the "-m" (in my experience, it's usually >the last filename I committed), then I get every single file in the >current directory committed with comment consisting solely of that >argument following the '-m'. To be honest, if you're using -m on the command line too then that's dangerous - many people disrecommend its use for exactly this kind of reason... -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.
