I copied this code from a spot where stdout is read via a pipe (and is then closed afterwards), but that isn't the case here. > As far as stderr of the child is concerned, if you only want to re-use the > standard error of the parent, then not assigning anything to cp.err is > correct (it was set to 0 in the memset before this hunk). But perhaps you > want to achieve something else? Nope. You are right, setting both to 0 (via the memset) to inherit the channel from the parent is just what is needed here. So the correct fix should look like this: diff --git a/submodule.c b/submodule.c index e2c3bae..209efa4 100644 --- a/submodule.c +++ b/submodule.c @@ -260,7 +260,6 @@ int fetch_populated_submodules(int forced) cp.env = local_repo_env; cp.git_cmd = 1; cp.no_stdin = 1; - cp.out = -1; for (i = 0; i < active_nr; i++) { struct strbuf submodule_path = STRBUF_INIT; -- 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
