[PATCH v6 3/3] run-command: show prepared command

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

 



This adds a trace point in start_command so we can see the full
command invocation without having to resort to strace/code inspection.
For example:

 $ GIT_TRACE=1 git test foo
 git.c:755               trace: exec: git-test foo
 run-command.c:657       trace: run_command: git-test foo
 run-command.c:657       trace: run_command: 'echo $*' foo
 run-command.c:749       trace: start_command: /bin/sh -c 'echo $* "$@"' 'echo $*' foo

Prior changes have made the documentation around the internals of the
alias command execution clearer, but I have still found this detailed
view of the aliased command being run helpful for debugging purposes.

A test case is added.  This simply looks for the trace point output;
the details change depending on platform -- the important thing is
that we have a verbose log point, not so much the details of what
happens on each platform.
