Commit Pane is too eager

[jsg2021]

I have auto-save turned on in atom, so when a pane blurs it saves. Git Plus's commit edit view closes and continues on save... this has bitten me several times.

Can we get an option to only continue the commit if-and-only-if:

• I close the pane.
• or I manually invoke the save key strokes
• or use a new non-editor like git-control
• or ignore auto-save for the commit editor

@jsg2021 I had this happen to me recently. I attempted to disable autosave in git commit buffers with the following:

"*[data-grammar~=\"git-commit\"]":
  autosave:
    enabled: false

but that seemed not to do the trick. Any ideas how to disable auto save when in a git-commit window?

I don't know, that looks like something that should work. Will see what the atom team says. :)

I've turned autosave on but I'm not having this problem. I'm changing tabs, toggling into the tree-view, and just about everything else while the commit message is open but it's still there until I save or close it.

@akonwi do you have a message typed? if its the initial content, its okay.

Ah I see. I'll try to make time and create a pull request to the autosave package to allow some configuration or a service for external packages to use. Hopefully the atom team beats me to it

It doesn't seem like the autosave maintainers are going to accept my pull request or address the issue. I'm not sure what more to do and this is over a year old.

My pull request to the autosave package has been merged and published. The changes to fix this issue will be in the next release
