Subject: New built-in fsmonitor: messages accidentally on stdout?
Date: Fri, 24 Sep 2021 20:02:48 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAPMMpoj-oiD1yDHx6WS_1uiPOXMLj7FcfBPZm-q4vO30kpE_ow@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi folks,

I've been testing the new "core.usebuiltinfsmonitor=true" capability
in Git for Windows 2.33.0.windows.2, and came across something today
that threw off my scripting:

In general, git "informational" messages are always output on stderr;
this caught me out initially, but is a godsend for scripting.

However, with this new functionality, the "starting fsmonitor-daemon
in 'C:/whatever" message is being output on stdout!

This interferes with scripting around things like "git status --porcelain".

I understand this fsmonitor stuff is still somewhat in-flux (patched
into the windows port but not yet "regular" git releases?), and this
issue may already have been reported and addressed in the latest set
of patches - my apologies if that is the case!

Best regards,
Tao
