The following command fails on my repository:
$ git commit --file=clog
fatal: could not read log file 'clog': No such file or directory
$ cat clog
toto
Using the following command the commit pass without problem:
$ cat clog | git commit --file=-
With GDB I get:
$ gdb --args git ci --file=clog
This GDB was configured as "i686-pc-cygwin"...
(gdb) break strbuf_read_file
Breakpoint 1 at 0x44e64a: file strbuf.c, line 301.
(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/local/bin/git.exe ci --file=clog
Breakpoint 1, strbuf_read_file (sb=0x22cac0, path=0x22ccfa "clog",
hint=0) at strbuf.c:301
301 fd = open(path, O_RDONLY);
(gdb) print path
$1 = 0x0
???? outch, this is strange, or a gdb artifact?
(gdb) n
302 if (fd < 0)
(gdb) print fd
$2 = -1
(gdb) print *0x22ccfa
$3 = 1735355491
(gdb) print (char)*0x22ccfa
$4 = 99 'c'
(gdb) print (char)*0x22ccfb
$5 = 108 'l'
(gdb) print (char)*0x22ccfc
$6 = 111 'o'
(gdb) print (char)*0x22ccfd
$7 = 103 'g'
(gdb) print (char)*0x22ccfe
$8 = 0 '\0'
But looks like path really contains 'clog'!!!
No luck for now to find the problem. Note that the same command pass
fine on other repositories. At this point this looks really like some
kind of memory corruption...
I'm on Windows, using Git for Cygwin and the compiler is:
$ gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.4.4 (cygming special, gdc 0.12, using dmd 0.125)
Pascal.
