Okay. Does not happen with 'next' here, too. I have some changes in my private repo (which eventually should culminate in the big mmap()ed sooper config parsing / writing thingie), which make it break. The following patch fixes this (and potentially Andreas' problem, too). -- cut here -- [PATCH] save errno in handle_alias() git.c:main() relies on the value of errno being set by the last attempt to execute the command. However, if something goes awry in handle_alias(), that assumption is wrong. So restore errno before returning from handle_alias().
