Function run_hook (in run-command.c) has this check: ret = finish_command(&hook); if (ret == -ERR_RUN_COMMAND_WAITPID_SIGNAL) warning("%s exited due to uncaught signal", argv[0]); return ret; The lines were moved to this location by ae98a008 (Move run_hook() from builtin-commit.c into run-command.c (libgit), 2009-01-16). Before this commit, the check existed in builtin-gc.c. It was introduced by bde30540 (git-gc --auto: add pre-auto-gc hook, 2008-04-09). Why is this check necessary? I'm asking because I'm working on a modification that would remove ERR_RUN_COMMAND_WAITPID_SIGNAL. -- Hannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
