The problem is that git, like most source code control systems, interprets any non-zero return from the user's editor as a commit failure. On the other hand, since ed is often used non-interactively, it's important that it report any failure of a script through the exit status, so that shell scripts can notice what's happened. The best approach is to use this script as the value of $EDITOR: #!/bin/sh ed "$@" exit 0 That forces the exit value always to be 0, no matter what happens inside the editor. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan co...@ccil.org When I'm stuck in something boring where reading would be impossible or rude, I often set up math problems for myself and solve them as a way to pass the time. --John Jenkins _______________________________________________ bug-ed mailing list bug-ed@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-ed
