Hello, I ran into the following bug today: "BUG: PATHSPEC_PREFER_CWD requires arguments". It's not that bad because I'm trying to run `git log --merge` on an already resolved conflict. Still, I don't think I should hit a "BUG:" :-) Here is a script to reproduce: git init . >a git add a git commit -m"create a" git branch other echo "1" >a git commit -m"add 1" a git checkout other echo "2" >a git commit -m"add 2" a git merge master git add a git log --merge -- a # Fails with "fatal: BUG: PATHSPEC_PREFER_CWD requires arguments" Here is what GDB gives me when I break on die(): Breakpoint 1, die (err=0x57e3a8 "BUG: PATHSPEC_PREFER_CWD requires arguments") at usage.c:97 97 if (die_is_recursing()) { (gdb) bt #0 die (err=0x57e3a8 "BUG: PATHSPEC_PREFER_CWD requires arguments") at usage.c:97 #1 0x00000000004ea58a in parse_pathspec (pathspec=0x7fffffffc288, magic_mask=31, flags=0, prefix=0x580dad "", argv=0x0) at pathspec.c:377 #2 0x00000000005097b4 in prepare_show_merge (revs=0x7fffffffc240) at revision.c:1375 #3 0x000000000050c32e in setup_revisions (argc=2, argv=0x7fffffffcb08, revs=0x7fffffffc240, opt=0x7fffffffc220) at revision.c:2147 #4 0x0000000000446efc in cmd_log_init_finish (argc=4, argv=0x7fffffffcb08, prefix=0x0, rev=0x7fffffffc240, opt=0x7fffffffc220) at builtin/log.c:147 #5 0x000000000044716a in cmd_log_init (argc=4, argv=0x7fffffffcb08, prefix=0x0, rev=0x7fffffffc240, opt=0x7fffffffc220) at builtin/log.c:203 #6 0x0000000000448349 in cmd_log (argc=4, argv=0x7fffffffcb08, prefix=0x0) at builtin/log.c:635 #7 0x000000000040584a in run_builtin (p=0x7bdb30, argc=4, argv=0x7fffffffcb08) at git.c:314 #8 0x00000000004059d5 in handle_internal_command (argc=4, argv=0x7fffffffcb08) at git.c:478 #9 0x0000000000405b88 in main (argc=4, av=0x7fffffffcb08) at git.c:575 And here is what bisect found: commit 9a0872744315da67db3c81eb9270751e31fcc8f5 Author: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun Jul 14 15:35:59 2013 +0700 remove init_pathspec() in favor of parse_pathspec() While at there, move free_pathspec() to pathspec.c Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <pclouds@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@xxxxxxxxx> Thanks, Antoine -- 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
