I had reported the following bug at https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=914896 It still occurs with Git 2.30.0. Some git commands with a lot of output fail with a broken pipe when one quits the pager (without going to the end of the output). For instance, in zsh: cventin% setopt PRINT_EXIT_VALUE cventin% git log zsh: broken pipe git log cventin% echo $? 141 cventin% This is annoying. And of course, I don't want to hide error messages by default, because this would hide *real* errors. The broken pipe is internally expected, thus should not be reported by git. Just to be clear: this broken pipe should be discarded only when git uses its builtin pager feature, not with a general pipe, where the error may be important. For instance, $ { git log ; echo "Exit status: $?" >&2 ; } | true should still output Exit status: 141 like currently. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vincent@xxxxxxxxxx> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / AriC project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
