Subject: [REGRESSION] git var GIT_EDITOR fails without tty
Date: Mon, 22 Mar 2010 15:59:47 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100322145947.GA1709@pengutronix.de> (raw)

Hello,

since b4479f074760a788dd4e353b8c86a7d735afc53e git send-email (and
others) use git var GIT_EDITOR.  This is OK as such but it breaks the
post-receive hooks that I use on several repositories.

When called they don't have a tty, and this makes git var fail:

	user@host:~$ ssh localhost "git var GIT_EDITOR"
	fatal: Terminal is dumb, but EDITOR unset

IMHO git send-email should only call $(git var GIT_EDITOR) when it
actually needs it.

(Note I'm using the Debian packaged version of git.  I don't think this
problem is Debian specific, I didn't check though.)

Best regards
Uwe
