Subject: git format-patch shell quoting bug
Date: Tue, 3 Jan 2006 23:55:19 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060104045519.GB29515@quicksilver.road.mcmartin.ca> (raw)
Hi,
There's apparently a quoting bug in git-format-patch. When I import
a patch with apply-mbox, for example
From: Carlos O'Donell <carlos@parisc-linux.org>
The author field is correctly set, including the "'" in Carlos' name.
So when I go to rebase my tree, or send out patches, I
"git-format-patch origin" and get...
/usr/bin/git-format-patch: eval: line 200: unexpected EOF while looking for
matching `''
/usr/bin/git-format-patch: eval: line 201: syntax error: unexpected end of file
Which produces a bogus output patch with a blank From and Date,
Subject: [PATCH] ...
From:
Date:
[...]
I believe this recently crept in, as I don't recall seeing it before.
Cheers,
Kyle
