BUG: git_work_tree issue with git alias and scripting

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

 



Hello,

Attached is a simple script exposing a possible bug when git alias is
combined with git commands in script. It should be pretty self-explanatory.
Check what it does and execute it. On my Linux and OSX, both with git 2.5.1
behave the same, ie. git add fails even the file "test" is in $PWD.

Summary: $GIT_WORK_TREE persists in env, and then some git commands operate
on repo in $PWD (like git log), while some others (like git add) operate on
repo in $GIT_WORK_TREE, making it inconsistent and results in very
unexpected results.

Cheers, Tuomo
