Subject: Improve commit-msg messages and autosquash
X-Git-Tag: emacs-24.4.90~145
X-Git-Url: http://git.eshelyaron.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9ac0332;p=emacs.git

Improve commit-msg messages and autosquash

Problem reported by Michal Nazarewicz in Bug#19337.
* build-aux/git-hooks/commit-msg: Add "commit message" to
diagnostics.  Distinguish better between tabs and other
unprintable chars in diagnostics.  Don't complain if a prefix
"fixup! " or "squash! " makes a summary line too long.
