Package: git Version: 1:1.7.2.5-2 Severity: wishlist Tags: upstream I would like to see a --no-hash option added to git-format-patch which would, like --no-signature, exclude the first line of the generate patch file:
>From <hash> Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 Rationale: git-dpm uses git-format-patch on temporary patched branches in order to generate patches to be stored in the master branch. If the patched branch is rebased (a common mode of operation for git-dpm) the commit hashes will change, resulting in a noisy diff to the master branch. The addition of this option would significantly quieten the resultant diffs. For an example of this problem, you could look at git://anonscm.debian.org/perl/perl.git Thanks, Dominic. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
