Hi Peff, I was able to reproduce the problem on all my machines, and I consider this very disturbing. However, I was successfully able to corner the issue. I have an overtly long $PATH that's not getting split properly by `IFS=:` in one corner case -- in other words, this shell script fails to execute properly when called with `--tee` (just set a really long $PATH and try): case "$GIT_TEST_TEE_STARTED, $* " in done,*) # do not redirect again ;; #!/bin/sh case "$GIT_TEST_TEE_STARTED, $* " in done,*) # do not redirect again ;; *' --tee '*|*' --va'*) mkdir -p test-results BASE=test-results/$(basename "$0" .sh) (GIT_TEST_TEE_STARTED=done ${SHELL-sh} "$0" "$@" 2>&1; echo $? > $BASE.exit) | tee $BASE.out test "$(cat $BASE.exit)" = 0 exit ;; esac OLDIFS=$IFS IFS=: for path in $PATH do ls "$path"/git-* 2> /dev/null | while read file do echo $file done done I'm still trying to figure out what exactly the problem is, and how to patch it.
