What are "errors in some case"? > It might just be when files are renamed. I ran into this after months of using it, and I'm skeptical that in that time no files were ever renamed. I'm not sure what was special about the file that was renamed. (There also might have been deleted files in the same commit, not sure if that matters)

There's a key error on the line line 2198: epoch = details["time"] The details object is an error different fields set (I don't remember what it is exactly, I'm not at work right now) > > - Why is it a bug not to pass "-s"? How does the bug happen? I encountered this one time after using it for months. One day I couldn't git p4 rebase with the key error. I searched for the error and found some version of git-p4 that fixed a similar error by adding the -s to describe. Adding the -s fixed the error and everything seemed to be working correctly. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
