Gerrit 3.7.0 cause issue when git commit --amend

[Guy Levkowitz]

Hi

we have issue when we do :

git add new-file

git commit -m"new file"

git push ....

after what we do :

edit again the same file for example

git add new-file

git commit --amend   (the vi edit mode is open and i just jet out from it - without any changes)

git log -2  (and i can see two Change-ID)  see attached print screen

to check this - i have created  new clone replace the .git/hooks/commit-msg  with old clone that i have old .git/hooks/commit-msg  and rerun the same command - this time it works fine - didn't had the two lines in the Change-ID

what can be done ?

we have found that it happens on the old git version : 2.11.0   
on the new git version, it doesn't happen.

git 2.11 is probably too old and does not provide `git interp-trailers'. It was added in git 2.22 ( released june 2019), 2.11  was release Nov 2016,  I am not surprised that things don't work.
