Subject: scripts: commit-msg: tweak 72-column test to avoid a false-positive
X-Git-Tag: v8.15~60
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0fd74a564eec0d1bd152ca7b6d5967ff571be66a;p=thirdparty%2Fcoreutils.git

scripts: commit-msg: tweak 72-column test to avoid a false-positive

* scripts/git-hooks/commit-msg: Don't warn about a line that is
longer than 72 if it is a comment.  Git-generated comments would
occasionally trigger this.
