I am on Ubuntu, I will run the checks that you mentioned. I assume it's operator error for now though. Like I said, it was just `git status` that was sometimes failing to send any stdout, presumably when access to a certain git repo was concurrent, but possibly due to concurrent access across multiple repos. Also, as an aside, this seems to be a bug, but probably a known bug: $ git diff-index HEAD; echo $? :100755 100755 60e5d683c1eb3e61381b1a8ec2db822b94b9faec 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 M cli/npp_check_merge.sh :100644 100644 35a453544de41e2227ab0afab31a396d299139e9 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 M src/find-projects.ts :100644 100644 c1ee7bc18e6604cbf0d16653e9366109d6ac2ec9 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 M src/tables.ts :100644 100644 29d9674fbb48f223f3434179d666b2aa991ad05a 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 M src/vcs-helpers/git-helpers.ts 0 $ git diff-index --quiet HEAD; echo $? 1 different exit codes depending on whether --quiet was used. In this case, the exit code should be consistent. The bug is with the `git diff-index` command, as you can see. -alex On Sun, Aug 5, 2018 at 1:11 AM, Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Alexander Mills wrote: > >> Yeah in this case what appeared to be happening is that if `git status` was >> called concurrently, frequently I wouldnt get any stdout.. > > Thanks for reporting.
