It runs RHEL5, and I have $ ls -l /dev/std* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Sep 1 09:25 /dev/stderr -> /proc/self/fd/2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Sep 1 09:25 /dev/stdin -> /proc/self/fd/0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Sep 1 09:25 /dev/stdout -> /proc/self/fd/1 But from the tests I get back dd: opening `/dev/stdin': No such file or directory error: git-fast-import died of signal 13 not ok - 110 R: copy using cat-file In any case I cannot see a reason to use this construct: 'dd' reads from stdin by default, so you could just leave away the option. -- Thomas Rast trast@{inf,student}.ethz.ch -- 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
