I posted a fix, and Junio posted an alternative approach. The original patches are here http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git&m=112541165904627&w=2 For some strange reason, it is not showing up on my OSX box, but it is definitely reproduceable in a proper FreeBSD box. I am happy to rebase my patch (or Junio's) against current cogito if needed, but I rather do only one of them ;) cheers, martin ``` ## Petr Baudis, 2005-09-20 19:36 Subject: Re: [PATCH] cg-diff fixed to work with BSD xargs Message-ID: <20050920193606.GD28621@pasky.or.cz> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20050920193606.GD28621%40pasky.or.cz In-Reply-To: <46a038f905091921154a70123f@mail.gmail.com> ``` Dear diary, on Tue, Aug 30, 2005 at 12:00:10PM CEST, I got a letter where Martin Langhoff told me that... > Calls to cg-diff without filename parameters were dependent on GNU xargs > traits. BSD xargs is hardcoded to do --no-run-if-empty -- so if the filter > is effectively empty we avoid calling xargs. > > Signed-off-by: Martin Langhoff Thanks, I've applied it and also fixed the second git-diff-tree usage.

There are still parts of mailing list history in late August and early September that I didn't read. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ VI has two modes: the one in which it beeps and the one in which it doesn't. ```
