line. git-am chokes on this; it will drop all real-names and then use the first email-address as the Patch author. If you want to give credit to others, you should probably do so in the changelog message.
Thanks for letting me know about this. The multiple names were my goofy idea.
Its a nice idea, alright, but it doesn't work ;-)
Is there a git-approved way to attach a changelog message? Or do you mean the "commit message" which turns into the message subject?
Thats what i meant. Basically the first line (which goes into the subject) should be a short one-line summary of the change.
Aside from this 'From' thing the patch formatting etc. was fine.
This is quite a hack... Why is it needed? Why does cygwin need special treatment vs. other systems? _IF_ there are good reasons for this, why not add this kludge to the reverse lookup code?
Good questions. I run neither Cygwin nor Vista, so couldn't test this myself, and decided to pass it along after some formatting adjustments. I hope one of the original authors will reply.
Alex Barton pointed me (offlist) to commit 149859c5fecc621cac38df9beb6bb9469ea4c774 so, there are operating systems where 127.0.0.1 will resolve to localhost.<domain>.
And there are most certainly installation that will resolve to something else. I also remember seeing 'localhost6' on some system when ipv6 is used.
So, in short, i'd really like to stay away from meddling with domain names inside ngircd...
