The result is that "shortlog" hangs for long period of time and nothing happens. At the same time git log works OK. Thanks, Eugene ``` ## Ramkumar Ramachandra, 2010-04-22 20:06 Subject: Re: [BUG] git shortlog hangs in bare repo Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/y2kf3271551004221306i9a08c06bl7abad4e56c0bbc28%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` Hi, > I have tried to run this command in order to get some stats from the > mainline bare repo.

As far as I can tell, this problem is already fixed in the latest upstream version- expect it to be fixed in the next release. -- Ram ``` ## Jonathan Nieder, 2010-04-25 21:50 Subject: Re: [BUG] git shortlog hangs in bare repo Message-ID: <20100425215042.GA25547@progeny.tock> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20100425215042.GA25547%40progeny.tock In-Reply-To: ``` Hi Eugene, Eugene Sajine wrote: > I have tried to run this command in order to get some stats from the > mainline bare repo.

I’m a big shortlog fan, too, but I should mention a certain performance characteristic: to sort its results by author, it has to build the whole log before it can print anything to standard output at all. git log, on the other hand, starts printing the most pertinent output right away. Not sure that’s the problem, but thought I should mention it. It would be nice to know what git version you are using, to be able to check for relevant differences between your setup and mine. Thanks for the report, Jonathan The most interesting recent change I could find is in v1.7.1-rc0~85^2 (shortlog: warn the user when there is no input, 2010-02-24). That is for the no-repository case rather than the bare-repository one. ``` ## Eugene Sajine, 2010-04-26 18:03 Subject: Re: [BUG] git shortlog hangs in bare repo Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/n2i76c5b8581004261103k287ce0fax7b3a511dbb72c95b%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: <20100425215042.GA25547@progeny.tock> ``` On Sun, Apr 25, 2010 at 5:50 PM, Jonathan Nieder wrote: > Hi Eugene, > > Eugene Sajine wrote: > >> I have tried to run this command in order to get some stats from the >> mainline bare repo.

The case here is that for the same project (same repo) in bare shortlog is not working, in non-bare it is working instantaneously.

Thanks, that was helpful. This is fixed by v1.7.1-rc0~157^2~1 (setenv(GIT_DIR) clean-up, 2010-02-06). You can find v1.7.1 at , for example[1]. Thanks, René.
