Disable WikiFormatting on commit messages

[Douglas Clifton]

This is by no means important, just a suggestion. If the commit (log) message contains a word in CamelCase aka a WikiPageName, WikiFormatting kicks in and thinks it's a hyperlink (usually to a new page).

You could either disable the wiki engine for those strings, or parse them and prefix a ! on matches yourself. I searched the list of tickets and saw no mention of this topic. At any rate, thanks for a great plugin. I dumped SVN like a bad habit and when I later discovered Trac supports Git via your plugin, I was off to the races.

You didn't find the ticket here because this isn't a gitplugin issue, it exists in the svn-based Trac too. See ​http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/476 for the ticket you're duplicating.

Note that you should be careful before you just "disable wikiformatting" wholesale like the wiki_format_messages setting there allows, because you'd lose some useful things like the Trac Links you can use to associate commits with tickets. Also, what if you want to reference a CamelCase wiki page in your commit? I do that all the time. You might try out the ignore_missing_pages behavior and see if that's sufficient for you before turning off everything.

Thanks for the follow-up on this Greg. You do have a good point regarding referencing a wiki page in your commit message, I hadn't thought of that.
