git commit --amend -F option help

[praveenm]

Dear All,

We are using git commit -F option to commit in git.

when we use git commit --amend option with -F it is creating new gerrit permalink.
ex: git commit --amend -F /opt/commitmessage.txt

How to amend the commit msg without creating new permalink.

Let me know if  other options are available.

Thanks in Advance

Why are you using the commit -F option ?

Gerrit uses the Change-Id footer to associate commits to changes.

If you use the -F option, the entire content of the commit message is replaced with the content of the file, and any previously existing Change-Id footer is removed (and I guess a new one generated).  Then when you push it to gerrit, gerrit treats it as a new change.

To fix this, either stop using -F, or when amending the commit manually add the previous Change-Id line back.
