I defenitly agree here, the command's reliability could be increased by always specifying bugfixes in a certain way. 'fixed-bug:' for example should be very recognizable. > Of course, we may not actually implement such changes. That would depend > upon how useful the output is to us. Ah yes, free will and whatnot. Then again, everybody already does 'signed-off-by:', if there's an easy command in git to mark a bugfix, it would increase the odds of people using it. Perhaps something like 'git commit -b 10256" which would then automagically append a predefined message to the commit users would feel more inclined? Cheers, Sverre Rabbelier
