Bug: .gitconfig folder

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

 



If you have a folder named ~/.gitconfig instead of a file with that name, when you try to run some global config editing command it will fail with a wrong error message:

    "fatal: Out of memory? mmap failed: No such device"


You can reproduce it:

$rm ~/.gitconfig
$mkdir ~/.gitconfig

$ls -la ~
    ...
    drwxr-xr-x 24 hit  hit       4096 may  4 12:30 .gimp-2.8
    drwxr-xr-x  2 hit  hit       4096 may 27 15:26 .gitconfig
    drwxr-xr-x  6 hit  hit       4096 may 27 14:01 github
    ...

$git config --global user.name foo
    fatal: Out of memory? mmap failed: No such device

$git config --global core.editor "vim"
    fatal: Out of memory? mmap failed: No such device
