From: Johannes Sixt Date: Wed, 07 Mar 2007 16:26:34 GMT Subject: [PATCH] git-gui: '/dev/null' on Windows is named 'nul' Message-ID: <45EEE7BA.E0603922@eudaptics.com> From: Johannes Sixt Making (or amending) an initial commit on Windows fails because redirecting something to '/dev/null' must fail - this device does not exist. Redirect to 'nul' instead. Signed-off-by: Johannes Sixt --- I've noticed this while using the MinGW port, but I do not know whether this is needed or even works on Cygwin. (Now lets see whether my MUA wraps long lines...) -- Hannes git-gui/git-gui.sh | 6 +++++- 1 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/git-gui/git-gui.sh b/git-gui/git-gui.sh index f84ba33..971d5fe 100755 --- a/git-gui/git-gui.sh +++ b/git-gui/git-gui.sh @@ -1288,7 +1288,11 @@ proc commit_committree {fd_wt curHEAD msg} { } } else { # git commit-tree writes to stderr during initial commit. - lappend cmd 2>/dev/null + if {[is_Windows]} { + lappend cmd 2>nul + } else { + lappend cmd 2>/dev/null + } } lappend cmd <$msg_p if {[catch {set cmt_id [eval exec $cmd]} err]} { -- 1.5.0.2.279.g4808
