How can I increase the length of the commit message history?
Sublime Merge commit message history length increase

Sublime Merge is just a GUI atop of git
If git doesn’t have the history it’s not going to show in SM.
Or do you mean something else?

Git has the full history, sublime merge only shows the last 10 in the dropdown.

Can you share a screenshot?
I’m not sure at all what you mean.
My Sublime Merge has all the commits listed in a column and I can scroll down and see all the commit messages. Is it because ours are pretty much only 1 line commit messages, do you have very long ones?

At the end of the line where you enter your commit message there is a dropdown. It will show the last 10 commit messages you have entered so you can choose one and reuse it quickly. This is what I am on about. No scroll bar just 10 comments.

Aha. Not a feature I’ve ever noticed before, so thank you for pointing it out.
Good to understand the actual issue now - but yes, obviously I have no idea how to resolve that one.

@OdatNurd Hi are you able to provide any light on whether this is possible?
i.e. increase the length of the dropdown at the end of the commit message to show more than 10 items in the history.

@OdatNurd just want to know if this is possible or not?
very annoying that I have just over 10 commonly used messages and I keep losing one or two every few days.

Not that I’m aware of; the menu that’s associated with the down arrow at the right of the commit message doesn’t correspond to any sublime-menu file in the Default package, as far as I can tell.
You may want to raise a ticket for this (Help > Report a Bug from the menu will take you to the tracker, where you will be prompted if you want to report a bug or an enhancement request).
