Make git log's `--use-mailmap` argument works if the GIT_DIR & GIT_WORK_TREE env vars are set and git is run from outside of work tree. Without the NEED_WORK_TREE set on the log subcommand, .mailmap is silently not found. Signed-off-by: Danny Sauer <danny@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Notes: I'm not entirely sure if this is the best way to fix it, as my git internals knowledge is pretty weak. But this /seems/ reasonable to me, and passes all of the current test cases. If there's a more appropriate way to make `--use-mailmap` work properly when `git log` is run outside of the tree, I'd be excited about the opportunity to learn. :) git.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/git.c b/git.c index 8ff44f0..e147f01 100644 --- a/git.c +++ b/git.c @@ -440,7 +440,7 @@ static struct cmd_struct commands[] = { { "init", cmd_init_db }, { "init-db", cmd_init_db }, { "interpret-trailers", cmd_interpret_trailers, RUN_SETUP_GENTLY }, - { "log", cmd_log, RUN_SETUP }, + { "log", cmd_log, RUN_SETUP | NEED_WORK_TREE }, { "ls-files", cmd_ls_files, RUN_SETUP | SUPPORT_SUPER_PREFIX }, { "ls-remote", cmd_ls_remote, RUN_SETUP_GENTLY }, { "ls-tree", cmd_ls_tree, RUN_SETUP }, -- 2.7.4
