But that's OK, because the value of that saved_errno is in the gathered log, isn't it? So the output is not identical, but IMHO it's much better. It's gone from: $ git fetch git://example.com/foo example.com[0: 192.0.32.10]: errno=Connection timed out example.com[0: 2620:0:2d0:200::10]: errno=Network is unreachable fatal: unable to connect a socket (Network is unreachable) to: $ git fetch git://example.com/foo fatal: unable to connect to example.com: example.com[0: 192.0.32.10]: errno=Connection timed out example.com[0: 2620:0:2d0:200::10]: errno=Network is unreachable IMHO, the "Network is unreachable" at the end of the first one is just noise; it's a duplicate of what was already printed, and it may not be the errno value that is most interesting to you. > If this is intentional then you should probably kill the saved_errno > variable also, it's rendered pointless by this patch. That is sensible, though, I think. -Peff -- 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
