Has the git shell revert been done so master should work?

Has the git shell revert been done so master should work?

[Boyd Lynn Gerber]

Hello,

I just did a clean clone of git git and, I am still seeing failures on all 
platforms I made work.  Has the git shell bug been reverted?  What should 
I do to get this working again on the 12 platforms?  Do I need to submit a 
patch that reverts the patch that caused all this?

Thanks,

It's in 'next' but has not yet graduated to 'master'. You can try
cherry-picking 4cfc24af into master.

I have never used cherry-pick before.  I can not seem to get the right 
incantation to get this into master to test it.  Could someone assist me 
with how to get this into master for testing?

The usual way would be:

  git checkout master ;# if you are not already there
  git cherry-pick 4cfc24af

However, it looks like Junio has just pushed out a master that has the
commit in question.

For your future reference, it would have been:

	git checkout master
	git cherry-pick 4cfc24af

But I've already pushed out the 'master' with the workarounds, so it
should not be necessary anymore.  Please check if tonight's 'master' works
for you.

Thanks.

This allow 1.6.0 with fixes to compile.  I now have to figure out why some 
tests fail.  It seems different tests fail on various platforms but that 
is an other issue.  I will get back to the list with new questions at that 
time.  But this does solve the problems with compiling.

I've been waiting to hear from you for a success/failure report since you
were suggested to try the workaround that was queued in 'next' for the
first time (I think it was Mike Ralphson on Thu 21st), before moving it to
'master', as platforms with sane linkers do not seem to need it.

I see Jeff again suggested you to try cherry-picking the workaround today.
Did it work for you?

I was doing it correctly, but this is what I am seeing.

$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git git
$ cd git
$ git checkout master
Already on "master"
$ git cherry-pick 4cfc24af
fatal: exec merge-recursive failed.
Automatic cherry-pick failed.  After resolving the conflicts,
mark the corrected paths with 'git add <paths>' or 'git rm <paths>' and 
commit the result.
When commiting, use the option '-c 4cfc24a' to retain authorship and 
message.

So I was attempting to do it right, but it just did not work.

BTW, is there a way to get all the messages sent since last night.  Some 
how I lost my subscription to the git email list.  I re-subscribe at 
around 1:30 MDT.  I really would like to get all the email I mised.

Thanks,

Hmm. Something is broken if it was unable to run merge-recursive. You
could maybe try running with GIT_TRACE=1, or stracing cherry-pick to see
what was going on.

Gmane maintains an archive. You can either just read the messages via
the web, grab them via nntp, or you can even persuade them to send you
an mbox of a set of messages:

  http://gmane.org/export.php

The latest date I could get is 20 Aug 08.  There has to be a way to get 
just todays.  With the high traffice of this list. I really need to get 
them before to many emails come so I can keep my archive consistent.

I really hate reading email via the web.  I have a hard time following 
everything.
