When f9568530 (builtin-commit: resurrect behavior for multiple -m options, 2007-11-11) converted a "char *message" to "struct strbuf message" to hold the messages given with the "-m" option, it incorrectly changed the checks "did we get a message with the -m option?" to "is message.len 0?". Later, we noticed one breakage from this change and corrected it with 25206778 (commit: don't start editor if empty message is given with -m, 2013-05-25). However, "we got a message with -m, even though an empty one, so we shouldn't be launching an editor" was not the only breakage. * "git commit --amend -m '' --allow-empty", even though it looks strange, is a valid request to amend the commit to have no message at all. Due to the misdetection of the presence of -m on the command line, we ended up keeping the log messsage from the original commit. * "git commit -m "$msg" -F file" should be rejected whether $msg is an empty string or not, but due to the same bug, was not rejected when $msg is empty. * "git -c template=file -m "$msg"" should ignore the template even when $msg is empty, but it didn't and instead used the contents from the template file. Correct these by checking have_option_m, which the earlier 25206778 introduced to fix the same bug.

Git - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public
License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses,
compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus
Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read
Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in
the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are
available at http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/,
http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that
list the current status of various development topics to the mailing
list. The discussion following them give a good reference for
project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
