Defect #11040
Git commit messages have strange formatting:
| Status: | New | Start date: | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Priority: | Normal | Due date: | ||
| Assignee: | - | % Done: | 0% | |
| Category: | SCM | |||
| Target version: | - | |||
| Affected version: | 1.4.2 | Resolution: |
Description
In both the overview of a repository and in the details of a specific commit "ascii-style" lists are shown in a strange manner. Note in the attached images that item no. 2 onwards have an extra space of padding on the left. Additionally, the whole list (including the first item) get a monospaced font.
Server: Ubuntu 12.04 server
Git: 1.7.9.5
The output of 'git log' in the actual repo on the server is:
Improved daemon functionality New features to the daemon: - It will check if it is already running via a lockfile - It handles SIGTERM: writes to the log and deletes the lockfile - blah blah blah - The usage() text reflects the changes
with one space before and after the dashes. The missing linebreak (subjective) is covered in Issue #10968. Also related is Issue #10886.
It seems the space before the first item in the list starts "monospace mode" and is therefore stripped.
