[darcs-devel] [issue345] Commit message is not recorded

[simonpj]

New submission from simonpj <simonpj at microsoft.com>:

This time my problem is that a long commit message does not appear as part of the patch.

Here's what I did:

1 darcs record
2 I said "yes" to the "Do you want to add a long comment?" question
3 Darcs popped up an editor window for a file darcs-record-0
4 I put in the (long) comment
5 I closed the editor

But the comment is not recorded.  Because of this, I tried a second time, changing one comment line in the key file.  This time, when it popped up darcs-record-0, my long comment was there already.  So I saved (a no-op) and closed the editor.  Again, the message is not recorded as part of the patch.

I can't explain this.  I've previously managed to get messages into patches.  The only odd thing about this one is that it's quite long (a couple of pages).

Now I'm stumped.

I hope you don't mind my stream of reports.  I'm a rather naïve darcs user -- but I'm faithfully taking time to report problems as I come across them, because I'm assuming you *want* to hear from naïve users.

Simon
