Subject: [PATCH] daemon: Set up PATH properly on startup.
Date: Sat, 9 Feb 2008 11:17:53 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1202555873-8099-1-git-send-email-mdw@distorted.org.uk> (raw)
Since exec_cmd.c changed (511707d42b3b3e57d9623493092590546ffeae80) to
just use the PATH variable for finding Git binaries, the daemon has been
broken for people with picky inetds (such as the OpenBSD one) which
launder the environment on startup. The result is that the daemon
mysteriously fails to do anything useful.
One line fix: call setup_paths() in main before doing anything.

I've not addressed the other problem with git-daemon which this
bug brought to my attention, which is that it doesn't log any
kind of error if it fails to exec.
