I'm not sure. v1.7.1 is 5 years old, and there have been a lot of fixes since then. I couldn't replicate your problem on v1.7.1 with a trivial test. If you can reproduce it at will and you really want to know where the fix is, you can try "reverse-bisecting": git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git cd git git bisect start git checkout v1.7.1 make [confirm that it shows the breakage] git bisect good git checkout v2.1.0 make [confirm that it does not show the problem] git bisect bad ... follow the instructions, testing teach ... Note that "good" and "bad" here are reversed of what you might expect. "bisect" was designed for finding regressions, not fixes, and you have to manually flip the two. -Peff -- 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
