Hello, with my Windows 7 Git-Installation I get following challenge: 1) Set GIT_EDITOR to editor of your choice 2) With Windows7 let this editor run in admin-mode Goto .exe-file -> right mouse-click -> compatibility -> run program as admin (I'm running a German version maybe English names are slightly different) 3) Make a git action like git add file git commit from the git bash. 4) Now following message appears: sh.exe: ./"editor of your choice": Bad file number Everything is fine without Admin-Mode set for editor. In other words if you get rid of step 2) step 4) doesn't appear instead the editor starts. Due to other tasks my editor of choice has to run in this mode - stupid enough. Any chance to get around this problem? (No not taking a different editor, no not getting rid of admin mode :) ) Reggies, Rainer Lauer -- 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
