Re: Problems using perl's Git.pm module

I take it that you have "alias.st.cmd = status".

Observe what this gives you:

    $ git st; echo $?

If you are running pre-1.7.0 version of git, I think "git status" was a
synonym to "git commit --dry-run" and exited with non-zero status to
signal the caller that there is nothing to commit, which is...

  jw@raven:~/testrepos> ./test.pl
  # On branch master
  nothing to commit (working directory clean)
  status failed w/ code 1 at ./test.pl line 9

...consistent with what we see here.

Yes, I'm still strongly tied to svn ;-)

It's 1.6.4.2, so I guess you're right.

Thanks!
