Hi,

I am totally confused... This is with today's cogito pull. It does not seem
to take GIT_ environment variables, although according to debugger it puts
correct data when writing object... Anybody else seeing this?  

[dtor@anvil kernel]$ mkdir git-test
[dtor@anvil kernel]$ cd git-test/

I am baffled.  If you are a bash user, what does "type --all"
tells you?  The only explanation I can think of is that you
might have leftover old git-* installation somewhere on your
PATH.

*sigh* Exactly. I forgot to uninstall cogito rpm after pulling
the latest tree and they got mixed up. Dammit, I just wasted 3
hours because of my own stupidity :(

Thank you for your help.
