Subject: [PATCH v7 2/5] history: give commit_tree_ext a message template
Date: Mon, 06 Jul 2026 08:50:46 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <212e9c228f03a10203a38ba3cf5e522e070c53ed.1783327849.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2337.v7.git.git.1783327849.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Harald Nordgren <haraldnordgren@gmail.com>

commit_tree_ext() reuses the message of the commit it is handed. A
caller that folds several commits together wants to seed the message
from more than that single commit, so add an optional message_template
parameter. When NULL, the behavior is unchanged.

Pass NULL from the existing fixup and split callers.
