Summary: Git 1.5.6-1 preview20080701 - installs, but commits can' be made. Product: Wine Version: 1.1.4 Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: andy.elvey@paradise.net.nz
This is the latest version of "msysgit" from Google Code.
This installs fine. However, when I try to do a commit (using the -m flag which should allow you to type the message directly) -
andy@foo ~/mytest $ wine "C:\Program Files\Git\bin\git-commit.exe" -m "First commit"
- I get this error -
"fatal: could not open DIR=.git/COMMIT_EDITMSG"
It should not need to open that file if you use the -m flag. I have used Git directly on Linux for about 2 months, and this -m flag works every time there.
