exec-path behavior

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

 



I'm wondering about the intended behavior of the
--exec-path/GIT_EXEC_PATH option - is it supposed to override or add
to the built-in path?  It seems to do some of both.

$ git --exec-path=foo rebase
git: 'rebase' is not a git-command. See 'git --help'.

but:

$ git --exec-path=foo status
# On branch master
nothing to commit (working directory clean)

There are plenty of commands in each category, and it's not
immediately obvious to me what criteria separate them.  Not a huge
problem, since it's easy enough to use --exec-path=foo:<normal-path>,
but I was in the process of adding support for exec-path to the bash
completion, and it's an important distinction there - and much easier
if it adds to the built-in, of course.


Thanks,
Jeffrey
