Subject: Slight in error in git-rerere help page
Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2009 22:20:30 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ygeocr5blap.fsf@phenix.progiciels-bpi.ca> (raw)
Hi, people. This is for git version 1.6.4.rc3.12.gdf73a
The output of "git help rerere" contains:
You need to set the configuration variable rerere.enabled to enable
this command.
It seems that that "enable" is not a proper value. If I used it over a
small repository, I get:
22:17:33 0 pinard@phenix:etc $ git config rerere.enabled enable
22:17:44 0 pinard@phenix:etc $ git gc
Counting objects: 1072, done.
Compressing objects: 100% (559/559), done.
Writing objects: 100% (1072/1072), done.
Total 1072 (delta 460), reused 1072 (delta 460)
fatal: bad config value for 'rerere.enabled' in .git/config
error: failed to run rerere
Removing the rerere section repairs this last problem.
P.S. - I'm also a bit curious about why rerere is needed for a garbage
collection.
