IOW, > laziness has won so far. :-) Agreed. It is important to get a good workflow, and with the program that I attached, it is inelegant that it does the "git commit" itself, because it takes away flexibility in what args one might pass to "git commit". So more work is needed... I wonder if adding code into one of Git's hook might work? Also I met Alfred Szmidt at the GNU hackers meeting in Bristol, and he was working on a solution for Emacs - but I think that assumes doing the commit from Emacs. > Thanks, > Ludo'.
