From c1ce83a5b64618a8a4ac313da82c156558cbe259 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Whitcroft Date: Wed, 5 Mar 2008 14:24:10 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] shortlog: take the first populated line of the description Way back the perl version of shortlog would take the first populated line of the commit body. The builtin version mearly takes the first line. This leads to empty shortlog entries when there is some viable text in the commit. Reinstate this behaviour igoring all lines with nothing but whitespace. This is often useful when dealing with commits imported from foreign SCMs that do not tidy up the log message of useless blank lines at the beginning.
