Reading commit objects

+1 vote
295 views

I'm building a library to manipulate git repositories (interacting directly with the filesystem).

Currently, we're trying to parse commit objects. After decompressing the contents of a commit object file we got the following output:

commit 191
author Francisco Sokol  ********** -0300
committer Francisco Sokol  ********** -0300

first commit

We hoped to get the same output of a "git cat-file -p ", but that didn't happened. From a commit object, how can I find tree object hash of this commit?

Can I add custom metadata to Git commit object?

Is it possible to add custom metadata to Git commit object?
Such metadata should be ignored by Git commands, but could be used by a 3-party tool which knows the format and knows where to look.

I assume that this should be possible, given that Git objects are actually patches, and patches can contain additional details. But can this be done with the help of Git commands?

How to change default git commit message?

I have added some changes on commit message in prepare-commit-msg file and then I exec this command 

git config --global commit.template .git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg

After that when I do git commit I receive something like this 

40 lines of my changes and then  

# Please enter the commit message for your changes. Lines starting # with # will be ignored, 
  and an empty message aborts the commit. # Explicit paths specified without -i nor -o; 
  assuming --only paths... # On branch master # Changes to be committed: # # modified: test #

Question is there any chance to show this default message on the top? Or better permanently remove this message?
