Nope, the intention was to have gitk display something like * Linux 2.6.26 | * Linux 2.6.25 without any intermediate commits. >> $ gitk --no-walk v2.6.25 v2.6.26 >> [ Error reading commits: child killed: segmentation violation ] > >At least, you should say the git version, the OS and platform. Right you are. gitk 1.5.4.3 and Linux 2.6.24.7. >It is the child process that segfaults, you could try "git rev-list >--no-walk v2.6.25 v2.6.26" directly and even try to debug it? rev-list completes without any problems. I straced gitk, and see: git log --no-color -z --pretty=raw --topo-order --parents --boundary --no-walk v2.6.25 v2.6.26 To reproduce: git log [with all that arguments] >/dev/null; echo $? Segmentation fault 139 It is fixed in v1.6.0.1-267-gec3a4ba. Bisect identified that 3131b71 fixed it: Add "--show-all" revision walker flag for debugging So case closed and thank you ;-) Jan -- 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
