# Failed git commands and StGIT 3 messages from 2006-06-09 to 2006-06-09. Participants: Petr Baudis, Catalin Marinas. Thread: https://gitlist.dev/t/4445 ## Petr Baudis, 2006-06-09 18:36 Subject: Failed git commands and StGIT Message-ID: <20060609183623.GJ11941@pasky.or.cz> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20060609183623.GJ11941%40pasky.or.cz ``` Hi, a user at #git just came with a problem with stg refresh - it turned out that he did not have his environment set up properly, but what is troublesome that stg refresh just said that "git-commit-tree failed" and did not show the actual error message - looking at the code, you probably want to keep fd 3 on the parent process' stderr, that is use open2, not open3. The user has used StGIT 0.9.

I also found this annoying but I was too lazy to fix it. To not capture the stderr is easy (just change pass false as the 2nd argument to popen2.Popen3) but there is a duplicate of error messages from both GIT and StGIT. The other option is to add a '--verbose' option to most of the commands. I'll have a look at it this weekend. Thanks. -- Catalin ``` ## Petr Baudis, 2006-06-09 21:25 Subject: Re: Failed git commands and StGIT Message-ID: <20060609212529.GL11941@pasky.or.cz> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20060609212529.GL11941%40pasky.or.cz In-Reply-To: ``` Dear diary, on Fri, Jun 09, 2006 at 11:05:47PM CEST, I got a letter where Catalin Marinas said that... > I also found this annoying but I was too lazy to fix it.

I'd actually prefer the behaviour of NOT having to add a '--verbose' option to a stgit command to see the full error output. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ A person is just about as big as the things that make them angry. ```
