The commit message content (including whitespace/formatting) is part of the data fed into the hash algorithm to generate the commit identifier. If Gerrit changed the commit message at upload, that would alter the Git SHA compared to your local copy of the same commit. This quickly goes down a Git madness rabbit hole (not the least of which is that it would completely break signed commits). -- Jeremy Stanley __________________________________________________________________________ OpenStack Development Mailing List (not for usage questions) Unsubscribe: openstack-dev-requ...@lists.openstack.org?subject:unsubscribe http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev
