Re: error commiting in Git

Hi,
I recently migrate to Mac OS from Linux.
and now when I try to commito some file of my git project I get the
following error:
find: illegal option -- n
find: illegal option -- a
find: illegal option -- m
find: illegal option -- e
it seems to me that git calls find in a way that mac os doesn't support.
any idea how can I solve that?


Best Regards,
Daniel França

Could you give the git version you use, the command you ran, and the
exact response?  “git commit” is not a shell script and does not run
find, so it is hard to guess what is going on from the extract you
gave.

Thanks for the fast reply
git version 1.7.2


git commit -a -m 'Teste'

Even when I try to commit using SmartGit or GitX, the same error of
commandline happen

Ah, you have a pre- or post-commit hook.  Take a look at
.git/hooks and you may find something interesting. :)

Good luck,
