Hello Junio, > Ahhhh, by "testing", I meant "runnnig the testsuite shipped with > the source". Both of your patches were failing in somewhere in > t2000 series of tests. That was the last time, I am going to submit a patch _without_ running the whole testsuite before.

Thanks. For packages that I distribute, I fixed it of course by myself. And to be precise I use git on Solaris a lot by myself but I don't work as root so the bug never showed up before and as you can see by the pastes that I provided to track down the bug I have if [ $UID -eq 0 ]; then export PS1="(${PROMPT_RED}\h${PROMPT_END}) [${PROMPT_BLUE}\w${PROMPT_END}] "; alias bk='echo DO *NOT* RUN BK AS ROOT' alias git='echo DO *NOT* RUN GIT AS ROOT' alias links='echo DO *NOT* RUN LINKS AS ROOT' alias elinks='echo DO *NOT* RUN ELINKS AS ROOT' ... in my distributed environment. But my coworker who I "show" git to work a lot as root. A very bad habbit that is hard to get rid of. Btw. I prepare to setup a automatic build script which I am going to let run automatic on a daily basis so that I catch Solaris compile problems early and report them to you.
