[PATCH v2 7/7] http: silence stderr when progress is enabled

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

 



To download bundle URI bundles over HTTP(s), git-clone(1) spawns a
git-remote-http(1) subprocess. Because clone can continue without
bundles, all errors sent by the child process over stderr are
suppressed.

In previous commits, we've added progress output in the child process,
and this happens over stderr, so we can no longer silence stderr. But in
case a bundle could not be downloaded, the user sees the following
messages:

  fatal: failed to download file at URL 'http://127.0.0.1:5558/bundle-5.bundle'
  warning: failed to download bundle from URI 'http://127.0.0.1:5558/bundle-5.bundle'

Here the child git-remote-http(1) prints a "fatal" error and then the
parent git-clone(1) prints a "warning". This is confusing to the user.

Instead of suppressing stderr from the parent process, like we did
before, modify stderr to write to /dev/null in the child process itself,
while keep using the original stderr for progress logging only.
