From: Emil Medve Date: Wed, 25 Jul 2007 14:21:51 GMT Subject: [PATCH] git-submodule: Error messages from 'git describe' shouldn't end up on the terminal Message-ID: <11853733111502-git-send-email-Emilian.Medve@Freescale.com> As of now a failure to locate the closest tag to a commit (e.g because there is no tag in the repository) is handled explicitly by displaying an 'undefined' tag error message. However when git describe fails it will still display an undesirable "fatal: cannot describe SHA1" message. This patch hides that message as git-submodule has an alternative and explicit error handling method in place for this situation Signed-off-by: Emil Medve --- git-submodule.sh | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/git-submodule.sh b/git-submodule.sh index 1f0cb99..3804f18 100755 --- a/git-submodule.sh +++ b/git-submodule.sh @@ -233,7 +233,7 @@ modules_list() say "-$sha1 $path" continue; fi - revname=$(unset GIT_DIR && cd "$path" && git describe --tags $sha1) + revname=$(unset GIT_DIR && cd "$path" && git describe --tags $sha1 2>/dev/null) set_name_rev "$path" "$sha1" if git diff-files --quiet -- "$path" then -- 1.5.3.rc2.38.g11308-dirty
