[PATCH] bisect: visualize with git-log if gitk is unavailable

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If gitk is not available in the PATH, bisect ends up
exiting with the shell's 127 error code, confusing the git
wrapper into thinking that bisect is not a git command.

We already fallback to git-log if there doesn't seem to be a
graphical display available. We should do the same if gitk
is not available in our PATH at all. This not only fixes the
ugly error message, but is a much more sensible default than
failing to show the user anything.
