Hi,

Here's a quick patch to illustrate the bug report. I initially thought Bo Yang's series was at fault, but a quick checkout-make tells me that the problem is much deeper- Am I doing something wrong? How did we not notice this problem for so long?

Subject: [PATCH] log: test to check exit code

Add a test to check the exit code of a simple 'git log' invocation. The test currently fails: the exit code seems to be 141, instead of the expected 0.

Er, I meant test $? = 0.

You can leave out the test line entirely, as test_expect_success already checks for an exit code of zero.

The test passes for me with 1.7.2.2, next and pu. Which version of git do you use?

Error code 141 smells like the pager. Can you reproduce the problem without the pager, i.e. like this?

	git --no-pager log

Right. I should have actually read test-lib.sh before submitting a test :p

I can reproduce this on the latest `master` and `pu`.

Indeed, it's a pager problem as Ævar pointed out on IRC. $(git
--no-pager log) and $(GIT_PAGER='perl -pe ""' git log) return
0. Something in `less` changed?
