I think this is more complex than this. To give a bit more context, the code you're changing is: comment_for_reflog start if test ! -z "$switch_to" then GIT_REFLOG_ACTION="$GIT_REFLOG_ACTION: checkout $switch_to" output git checkout "$switch_to" -- || die "Could not checkout $switch_to" comment_for_reflog start fi The GIT_REFLOG_ACTION= changes the reflog message for the git checkout command. Since we use the construct GIT_REFLOG_ACTION="..." shell_function the shell may keep $GIT_REFLOG_ACTION set after calling the function (I don't remember what POSIX says, but dash does it: $ f () { echo $X; } $ X=42 f 42 $ echo $X 42 $ X=y f y $ echo $X y ). So, one needs to reset $GIT_REFLOG_ACTION to what it used to be if is it to be used later. However, it seems to me that the "comment_for_reflog start" is used only for this checkout command. If so, there's no need for the "comment_for_reflog start" before the if statement either. In any case, this should be clarified with at least a comment in the code. > diff --git a/git-rebase--interactive.sh b/git-rebase--interactive.sh > index 43631b4..5f1d8c9 100644 > --- a/git-rebase--interactive.sh > +++ b/git-rebase--interactive.sh > @@ -893,8 +893,6 @@ then > GIT_REFLOG_ACTION="$GIT_REFLOG_ACTION: checkout $switch_to" > output git checkout "$switch_to" -- || > die "Could not checkout $switch_to" > - > - comment_for_reflog start > fi > > orig_head=$(git rev-parse --verify HEAD) || die "No HEAD?" -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- 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
