Subject: Gitk: "argument list too long"
Date: Fri, 19 Dec 2014 17:32:22 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <D0BA1FB7.16EC4%npennequ@cisco.com> (raw)

Hi,

I¹m having some trouble with gitk on Mac using a very large repository
(chromium/src).
I¹m using git version 2.2.1 from Homebrew.

The error details are the following:

couldn't execute "git": argument list too long
couldn't execute "git": argument list too long
    while executing
"open [concat $cmd $ids] r"
    (procedure "getallcommits" line 47)
    invoked from within
"getallcommits"
    (procedure "readcache" line 80)
    invoked from within
"readcache file10"
    ("eval" body line 1)
    invoked from within
"eval $script"
    (procedure "dorunq" line 11)
    invoked from within
"dorunq"
    ("after" script)


Regards,
Nicolas
