Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] git-am: emit usage when called w/o arguments and w/o patch on stdin
Message-ID: <1233113262-17491-1-git-send-email-jaysoffian@gmail.com>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/1233113262-17491-1-git-send-email-jaysoffian%40gmail.com

```
When git am is called w/o arguments, w/o a patch on stdin and the user hits
ctrl-c, it leaves behind a partially populated $dotest directory. After this
commit, it emits usage when called w/o arguments and w/o a patch on stdin.

Also ensure that $dotest is cleaned up if user manages to interupt mailsplit
while it is processing input, but not if mailsplit exits non-zero due to
error.

```
Update usage statement to remove a no-longer supported option, and to hide two
options (one a no-op, one internal) unless --help-all is used.

Use "test -t 0" instead of deprecated "tty -s" to detect when stdin is a
terminal. (test -t 0 is used elsewhere in git-am and in other git shell
scripts, tty -s is not.)

Use "test ..." instead of "[ ... ]" and "die <msg>" instead of "echo <msg>
>&2; exit 1" to be consistent with rest of script.

Sorry to be dense.  Why isn't your patch the above single liner?

Who deprecated it?

Other changes looked sensible, though.

Awesome! Thanks for looking into this :).

I hope you two work this out soon so it gets into maint.

I believe it's IEEE Std 1003.2-1992 / POSIX.2. I found the initial
reference in the BSD/OS X man page[1], but google also found me other
references [2,3]. Also, elsewhere git uses "test -t 0", not "tty -s".

[1] http://developer.apple.com/DOCUMENTATION/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man1/tty.1.html
    (The -s option is deprecated in favor of the ``test -t 0'' command.)
[2] http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-5165/tty-1?a=view
    (Portable applications should use test -t.)
[3] http://opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007908799/xcu/tty.html
    (Portable applications should use test -t 0.)

"Also ensure that $dotest is cleaned up if user manages to interupt mailsplit
while it is processing input, but not if mailsplit exits non-zero due to
error."

My point was why "Also" needs to be in the same commit.  Aren't they
separate issues?
