# [PATCH-v2] Make git status print a helpful death message if the disk is full 1 messages from 2009-09-01 to 2009-09-01. Participants: David Reiss. Thread: https://gitlist.dev/t/20813 ## David Reiss, 2009-09-01 20:27 Subject: [PATCH-v2] Make git status print a helpful death message if the disk is full Message-ID: <4A9D83A8.3000400@facebook.com> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/4A9D83A8.3000400%40facebook.com ``` The old behavior just said that it failed. Now it includes the error information, which makes it much easier to debug. There is a risk that some failure paths could result in misleading error messages that actually make debugging more difficult.
