Subject: How to handle terminal detection in a daemon calling git?
Date: Wed, 30 May 2012 16:16:47 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1338412607.9452.140661082904349.02F677C3@webmail.messagingengine.com> (raw)


I've got a script that runs in the background without a terminal.
It actually does have STDOUT and STDERR set to a rotating log file.

When it runs:
  /bin/sh -c 'cd /to/my/wc; git pull --ff-only'
the git command fails (rc 32768).

When it runs
 /bin/sh -c 'cd /to/my/wc; git pull --ff-only > /to/a/file 2>&1'

or even
 /bin/sh -c 'cd /to/my/wc; git pull --ff-only | cat'

then all is well.  The command succeeds (rc 0, and I see the expected
results).

Piping through 'cat' is okay, but I'd rather avoid the 'trick'.  Is
there
some way to communicate to git that it should operate just as if output
were redirected?
