----==_mimepart_6a7245e49de04_b6118064933b Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable It seems to me that using the editorconfig plugin applies .editorconfig eve= n when vim is used as git commit message editor. I noticed this while working in a CRLF repo. That completely messed up [my = messages with `commit.verbose`](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-commit#Documen= tation/git-commit.txt---verbose) (which include a separator line for the ig= nored verbose part, which apparently requires LF to work). The line length setting is also applied, which changes the default automati= c line breaks. Would this be considered works as intended or should we exempt `ft=3Dgitcom= mit` from editorconfig? --=20 Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/vim/vim/discussions/20940 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
