Description
Ivan Zakharyaschev 2014-01-14 06:05:58 MSKgit-1.8.4.4-alt1 The manpage for git-pull mentions -m in a comment: --edit, -e, --no-edit Invoke an editor before committing successful mechanical merge to further edit the auto-generated merge message, so that the user can explain and justify the merge. The --no-edit option can be used to accept the auto-generated message (this is generally discouraged). The --edit (or -e) option is still useful if you are giving a draft message with the -m option from the command line and want to edit it in the editor. but it is not accepted actually: git pull --no-edit -m 'Restoring config etc from server' origin server/GITCONFIG/master fatal: No such remote or remote group: Restoring config etc from server I'm not sure whether it is a bug of the implementation or of the documentation.
