"git commit-tree" plumbing command required the user to always sign its result when the user sets the commit.gpgsign configuration variable, which was an ancient mistake. Rework "git rebase" that relied on this mistake so that it reads commit.gpgsign and pass (or not pass) the -S option to "git commit-tree" to keep the end-user expectation the same, while teaching "git commit-tree" to ignore the configuration variable. This will stop requiring the users to sign commit objects used internally as an implementation detail of "git stash". * jc/commit-tree-ignore-commit-gpgsign: commit-tree: do not pay attention to commit.gpgsign

NAME

|
|
git-commit-tree - Create a new commit object
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git commit-tree' <tree> [(-p <parent>)...]
|
|
'git commit-tree' [(-p <parent>)...] [-S[<keyid>]] [(-m <message>)...]
|
|
[(-F <file>)...] <tree>
|
|
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
This is usually not what an end user wants to run directly. See
|
|
linkgit:git-commit[1] instead.
|
|
|
|
Creates a new commit object based on the provided tree object and
|
|
emits the new commit object id on stdout. The log message is read
|
|
from the standard input, unless `-m` or `-F` options are given.
|
|
|
|
A commit object may have any number of parents. With exactly one
|
|
parent, it is an ordinary commit. Having more than one parent makes
|
|
the commit a merge between several lines of history. Initial (root)
|
|
commits have no parents.
|
|
|
|
While a tree represents a particular directory state of a working
|
|
directory, a commit represents that state in "time", and explains how
|
|
to get there.
|
|
|
|
Normally a commit would identify a new "HEAD" state, and while Git
|
|
doesn't care where you save the note about that state, in practice we
|
|
tend to just write the result to the file that is pointed at by
|
|
`.git/HEAD`, so that we can always see what the last committed
|
|
state was.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
<tree>::
|
|
An existing tree object
|
|
|
|
-p <parent>::
|
|
Each '-p' indicates the id of a parent commit object.
|
|
|
|
-m <message>::
|
|
A paragraph in the commit log message. This can be given more than
|
|
once and each <message> becomes its own paragraph.
|
|
|
|
-F <file>::
|
|
Read the commit log message from the given file. Use `-` to read
|
|
from the standard input.
|
|
|
|
-S[<keyid>]::
|
|
--gpg-sign[=<keyid>]::
|
|
GPG-sign commits. The `keyid` argument is optional and
|
|
defaults to the committer identity; if specified, it must be
|
|
stuck to the option without a space.
|
|
|
|
--no-gpg-sign::
|
|
Do not GPG-sign commit, to countermand a `--gpg-sign` option
|
|
given earlier on the command line.
|
|

|
Commit Information
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
A commit encapsulates:
|
|
|
|
- all parent object ids
|
|
- author name, email and date
|
|
- committer name and email and the commit time.
|
|
|
|
While parent object ids are provided on the command line, author and
|
|
committer information is taken from the following environment variables,
|
|
if set:
|
|
|
|
GIT_AUTHOR_NAME
|
|
GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL
|
|
GIT_AUTHOR_DATE
|
|
GIT_COMMITTER_NAME
|
|
GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL
|
|
GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
|
|
|
|
(nb "<", ">" and "\n"s are stripped)
|
|
|
|
In case (some of) these environment variables are not set, the information
|
|
is taken from the configuration items user.name and user.email, or, if not
|
|
present, the environment variable EMAIL, or, if that is not set,
|
|
system user name and the hostname used for outgoing mail (taken
|
|
from `/etc/mailname` and falling back to the fully qualified hostname when
|
|
that file does not exist).
|
|
|
|
A commit comment is read from stdin. If a changelog
|
|
entry is not provided via "<" redirection, 'git commit-tree' will just wait
|
|
for one to be entered and terminated with ^D.
