[PATCH] fix git alias

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When extra command line arguments are given to a command that
was alias-expanded, the code generated a wrong argument list,
leaving the original alias in the result, and forgetting to
terminate the new argv list.

 * This would make "git l -n 4" work when you have "alias.l =
   log -M" in your configuration.  The original code generated
   an equivalent of "git log -M l -n 4".

   There is another more grave problem I seem to be hitting but
   haven't figured out (and will probably not figure out while
   away); I'd appreciate if you can track it down.  With
   "alias.wh = whatchanged --patch-with-stat", "git wh HEAD --
   mailinfo.c" segfaults at fclose() in git_config_from_file()
   when it reads the configuration for the second time (the
   first time being getting the alias).  The second call comes
   via init_revisions() calling setup_git_directory().  Oddly
   I do not seem to be able to reproduce this segfault on amd64.
