I just found it. The progress meter stuff in pack-objects splats all over the output. So trash/client/log.txt is completely mangled. Everything functions correctly, but the textual output is garbage. If I set progress to 0 in pack-objects.c, everthing's happy. There's no way to pass -q through fetch-pack to upload-pack... Gee, look, a comment that says "Yeah, yeah, fixme." I have no real desire to add an args argument and propagate that change through all the connect routines. An alternative is to add a "quiet" command to the protocol. Another would be to dup all three file descriptors. yech. Preference? (I haven't updated git in a while on this platform. Recompiling and testing takes a while on a 375 MHz Power3.) Jason
