That was a stale patch (from before I compiled/tested, obviously). I intended this: if (fcntl(fileno (stdout), F_GETFD) >= 0 && (ferror(stdout) || fclose(stdout))) Here's the correct one: Subject: [PATCH] Don't ignore write failure from git-diff, git-log, etc. Currently, when git-diff writes to a full device or gets an I/O error, it fails to detect the write error: $ git-diff |wc -c 3984 $ git-diff > /dev/full && echo ignored write failure ignored write failure git-log does the same thing: $ git-log -n1 > /dev/full && echo ignored write failure ignored write failure Each and every git command should report such a failure. Some already do, but with the patch below, they all do, and we won't have to rely on code in each command's implementation to perform the right incantation. $ ./git-log -n1 > /dev/full fatal: write failure on standard output: No space left on device [Exit 128] $ ./git-diff > /dev/full fatal: write failure on standard output: No space left on device [Exit 128] You can demonstrate this with git's own --version output, too: (but git --help detects the failure without this patch) $ ./git --version > /dev/full fatal: write failure on standard output: No space left on device [Exit 128] Note that the fcntl test (for whether the fileno may be closed) is required in order to avoid EBADF upon closing an already-closed stdout, as would happen for each git command that already closes stdout; I think update-index was the one I noticed in the failure of t5400, before I added that test. Also, to be consistent, don't ignore EPIPE write failures.
