cherry-pick strangeness

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

 



Hello,

I stumbled upon a strange behavior of cherry-pick,
running the attached script yields different results
from running the same command lines manually in
an interactive shell, one after the other.

I searched the man page and found no indications
that that should act in this way. It looks like the CLI
args "--ff" & "--no-ff" or the absence of it are not
doing the same in a script as in an interactive shell.

I  asked in the IRC channel, and was asked to report
it here.

I tried to reproduce it in various environments, I
ran it in Centos 7, debian 9, ubuntu bionic & cosmic,
alpine & fedora, in docker containers, all giving the
same results. The git versions tested range from
1.8.3.1 to 2.21.0.

Trying to reproduce, I created the attached script,
which reports 3 times "SAME", whereas the case
using "--no-ff" should print "DIFF", if I'm not wrong
in reading its manpage description.

What am I missing ?
