Subject: t4201-shortlog.sh does bad things to my terminal
Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2007 19:03:01 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070423170301.GL955MdfPADPa@greensroom.kotnet.org> (raw)

Running t4201-shortlog.sh in a non-utf8 terminal has some unpleasant effects:

bash-3.00$ xterm -v
XFree86 4.2.99.903(174)
bash-3.00$ locale
LANG=en_US
LC_CTYPE="en_US"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US"
LC_TIME="en_US"
LC_COLLATE=POSIX
LC_MONETARY="en_US"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US"
LC_PAPER="en_US"
LC_NAME="en_US"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US"
LC_ALL=
bash-3.00$ sh ./t4201-shortlog.sh --verbose
Created commit b8ab028: This is a very, very long first line for the commit message to see if it is wrapped correctly

Created commit 3da0b85: Thð















(The cursor is now about half way the last line.)

It appears that this message is printing a control character to turn off echoing,
because the terminal appears completely unresponsive afterwards.
Typing "reset" restores the terminal.

Is this really necessary?
