That is already taken care of elsewhere (I think runstatus is confusingly written -- it should really only set GIT_INDEX_FILE for the git-runstatus subcommand. This is an artifact from when runstatus was implemented completely in shell, and I should have cleaned it up during that transition). It's probably not worth cleaning up, though, if the shell version is going away soon. > I need this new option for my work now, I have to backport it to > previous stable branch, because git-runstatus needs too much memory and > runs too long in some cases.

Yes, since you have already written the patch and it is fairly trivial, I think it should be applied. I was trying to subtly hint that you should make sure the feature makes it into the the new git-commit. If you can provide a test case for git-runstatus segfaulting, I can help look at it further. -Peff - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
