Support for bulk commits?

[wilr]

Was just starting to write a plugin for this but thought it might be better as part of this plugin. Happy to contribute..

My scenario is that I have 12 repos, each file needs a file changed in them and then committed (same commit message). Would something like git-bulk commit -m 'Add new licence' be a feature you would consider for this tool? Any thoughts?

Hey!

That seems like something that fits in. Here are some thoughts that I have at first glance.

• -m simplifies the problem a lot over trying to make git-bulk commit which is interractive.
• Without -m it would be great to have a helpful error message that says its required because we don't have support for the interactive bulk variant yet.
• It should be able to use the same pattern that he other commands in the library use currently.
• Right now, -a is what I use for "choose all repositories, not just changed ones". So we would have to use something else for what would have been git commit -a if that's going in, which would probably be pretty convenient.
• It should work with whatever subset of repos the user is attempting to target. I think this comes pretty much for free if you just do it the same way that the other commands do it.

If you're up for trying to implement it then I'm happy to work with you to get it in, yeah. I can think of a few times that I would have used this. As for the actual code, I know I usually have comments in regards to complexity. Doing it in as simple a way as possible and with as little code as possible is definitely a good idea.
