Hi lazy people (if you're not lazy, don't read this e-mail :P).

The following script will make your life even easier, updating
HISTORY for you. Next week I will write a script to tie the laces of
your shoes :P.


#!/bin/sh
[ $# = 0 ] && {
        echo "Usage: $0 <msg> [file]..."
        exit
}

MSG="$1"; shift

DATE="`date --rfc-3339=date`"
NAME="`git-config --get user.name`"
EMAIL="`git-config --get user.email`"

PREVDIR=
FILES=

{ git-ls-files -m -d "$@"; echo; } | while read FILE; do
        DIR="`dirname "$FILE"`"

        if [ -n "$PREVDIR" -a "$PREVDIR" != "$DIR" ]; then
                mv "$PREVDIR/HISTORY" "$PREVDIR/HISTORY.old"
                FILES="`echo "$FILES" | sed 's/^, //'`"

                cat > "$PREVDIR/HISTORY" << EOF
$DATE  $NAME <$EMAIL>
        * $FILES: $MSG

EOF
                cat "$PREVDIR/HISTORY.old" >> "$PREVDIR/HISTORY"
                rm -f "$PREVDIR/HISTORY.old"
                FILES=
        fi

        FILES="$FILES, `basename "$FILE"`"
        PREVDIR="$DIR"
done
