gnu-ed 1.10 crashes git commit editor on OS X (git version doesn’t seem to matter but can be duplicated using both Apple Git-50 (1.9.3) and compiling latest v2.2.1 git from source.
Steps to reproduce: compile gnu-ed on OSX export EDITOR=/path/to/ed enter a git repo touch or edit file foo.txt git add foo.txt git commit //git calls the $EDITOR, which is gnu ed 319 (After the file loads with the length type something that generates any error like) Add a file. ? # Whoops! I made a mistake! 0a Add a file. . wq error: There was a problem with the editor '/Users/sterpe/bin/ed'. Please supply the message using either -m or -F option. //session transcript 18:22:41 [1519\0] <sterpe@macbook-pro:~> λ echo $EDITOR /Users/sterpe/bin/ed 18:22:46 [1520\0] <sterpe@macbook-pro:~> λ cd .home/ 18:22:59 [1521\0:yosemite] <sterpe@macbook-pro:~/.home> λ \ git add .profile 18:23:05 [1522\0:yosemite] <sterpe@macbook-pro:~/.home> λ git commit 319 Add a file. ? 0a Add a file. . wq 331 error: There was a problem with the editor '/Users/sterpe/bin/ed'. Please supply the message using either -m or -F option. 18:23:21 [1523\1:yosemite] <sterpe@macbook-pro:~/.home> λ The OS X system /bin/ed (BSD) does not have this behavior. I.e., git doesn’t crash, saves the commit message without error. Right now my solution is to set EDITOR=/bin/ed and use GNU ed everywhere else, but would love to find out what’s going on with this.
