mergetool used /dev/tty to switch back to receiving input from the user via inside a block with a redirected stdin. This harms testability, so change mergetool to save its original stdin to an alternative fd in this block and restore it for those sub-commands that need the original stdin. Signed-off-by: Charles Bailey <charles@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- This works on my fedora 12 box with bash. The redirects should be standard but this could do with some testing on other bourne shell implementations. git-mergetool--lib.sh | 2 +- git-mergetool.sh | 7 ++++--- 2 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/git-mergetool--lib.sh b/git-mergetool--lib.sh index 51dd0d6..b5e1943 100644 --- a/git-mergetool--lib.sh +++ b/git-mergetool--lib.sh @@ -35,7 +35,7 @@ check_unchanged () { while true; do echo "$MERGED seems unchanged." printf "Was the merge successful?
