Commit 4cfbe06 introduced the use of "git diff" to show dirty state in a format more familiar to users. However, it should have used the plumbing "git diff-files" instead. Not only is it good practice in general to use plumbing in scripts, but in this case we really don't want the automatic pager to kick in for an error message. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@xxxxxxxx> --- I got quite a surprise when I ran "git rebase" and was presented with a pager with nothing but: M foo.c in it. I suspect this issue wasn't noticed while testing because most people use "-FX" with "less", so their short list of dirty files causes the pager to exit immediately. git-rebase.sh | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/git-rebase.sh b/git-rebase.sh index 2315d95..6ec155c 100755 --- a/git-rebase.sh +++ b/git-rebase.sh @@ -387,7 +387,7 @@ fi # The tree must be really really clean. if ! git update-index --ignore-submodules --refresh > /dev/null; then echo >&2 "cannot rebase: you have unstaged changes" - git diff --name-status -r --ignore-submodules -- >&2 + git diff-files --name-status -r --ignore-submodules -- >&2 exit 1 fi diff=$(git diff-index --cached --name-status -r --ignore-submodules HEAD --) -- 1.6.5.rc0.166.ge65f.dirty -- 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
