Failed git commands and StGIT

From: Petr Baudis <hidden>

  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.

  Thanks,

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.

Dear diary, on Fri, Jun 09, 2006 at 11:05:47PM CEST, I got a letter
where Catalin Marinas [off-list ref] said that...

  I don't think this is actually an issue. I'd actually prefer the
behaviour of NOT having to add a '--verbose' option to a stgit command
to see the full error output.
