The problem with your report is that this list is for helping mere mortals coping with their problems using Git; it is not read by the Git developers so it's futile to report real bugs here. You should post your report to the developers' list instead. Please read [1] for more details on how to do that. > I am attaching some screenshots for reference. Please next time do not post screenshots of text, for two reasons: - The text rendered on them is not indexed by internet search engines (which, among other things, index the archives of this very mailing list) and it is not searchable by the mail user agents (programs) people use to read mail. - Some people - including many of the Git developers - use text-based programs to read mail. While making them display an attached image is doable, a user reading your mail should apply some extra effort to do that and, however small, this is still an effort, and the user might decide to just not bother, which lowers the chances of you having your problem solved. (While we are at it, the same principle applies to posting URLs instead of describing your problem "inline": many people won't bother following it.) 1. https://gist.github.com/tfnico/4441562#writing-an-email-to-the-developers-list -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
