OK, I have to admit defeat: I can't come up with a test script. But the issue is reproducible: git grep in a bare repository fails when run with a pager. $ mkdir /tmp/a $ cd /tmp/a $ git init Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/a/.git/ $ echo a >a $ git add a $ git commit -m.

As does the following patch, but I don't know why. The call chain is quite deep. It seems that without the patch the static variable git_dir in environment.c isn't updated when git finds out that it runs in a bare repo -- but only if a pager is used. There are five more sites in git.c, path.c and setup.c where $GIT_DIR is set directly with setenv(). I wonder if they should better call set_git_dir() instead, too. diff --git a/setup.c b/setup.c index 710e2f3..5fb9b25 100644 --- a/setup.c +++ b/setup.c @@ -406,7 +406,7 @@ const char *setup_git_directory_gently(int *nongit_ok) cwd[offset] = '\0'; setenv(GIT_DIR_ENVIRONMENT, cwd, 1); } else - setenv(GIT_DIR_ENVIRONMENT, ".", 1); + set_git_dir("."); check_repository_format_gently(nongit_ok); return NULL; } -- 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
