I was actually getting output from one git\ncommand or another and couldn't figure out why until I eventually\nfigured out that the commands that were complaining were used in my\n__git_ps1 script. This was mainly when I was doing slightly unexpected\nthings (at least as far as __git_ps1 was concerned, e.g during an\ninteractive rebase ).\n\nIts probably not your problem but just double check with 'echo \"$PS1\"'\nfrom your shell.\n"},{"id":"141023","messageId":"n2m6f5a4e781005052032sf47733ebwf490e0369bebd03f@mail.gmail.com","threadId":"23702","inReplyTo":"20100505060110.GA21260@progeny.tock","subject":"Re: Bizarre behavior on git commit","fromName":"Dan Loewenherz","fromEmail":"dloewenherz@gmail.com","sentAt":"2010-05-06T03:32:35Z","receivedAt":"2010-05-06T03:32:35Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"dloewenherz@gmail.com","avatar":"https://gravatar.com/avatar/69134b10dc6663fd8a4ac95edc0e556662c43c3acb226cec9f697cb8848198b2?d=mp&s=160"},"body":"On Tue, May 4, 2010 at 11:01 PM, Jonathan Nieder wrote:\n> Dan Loewenherz wrote:\n>\n>> I'm running into a weird issue in a specific repo where \"git show-ref\"\n>> usage is being displayed after invocating \"git commit\".\n>>\n>> E.g.\n>> $ git commit -m \"my commit message\"\n>> usage: git show-ref [-q|--quiet] [--verify] [--head]\n> [...]\n>>                           show refs from stdin that aren't in local repository\n>>\n>> [master 28a735f] my commit message\n>>  1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)\n>> $\n>\n> Strange.  Maybe a hook script?\n\nThe GIT_TRACE helped--it was a hook script.
