git-tag doesn't handle options in $EDITOR

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

 



My EDITOR env var is set to "/usr/local/bin/mate -w". git commit works fine - it pops up textmate, I type my commit log, save, and done.

git-tag, on the other hand, complains :
fatal: exec /usr/local/bin/mate -w failed.
fatal: There was a problem with the editor /usr/local/bin/mate -w

It seems to be trying to launch the executable "mate -w", rather than "mate" with a -w option.

(FWIW, you can do "ln -s mate mate_wait", which implicitly assumes the -w option, and works fine with git-tag)
