[Bug 15295] New: Git 1.5.6-1 preview20080701 - installs, but commits can' be made.

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: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

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.

Have you tried this under Windows before Wine?

> Have you tried this under Windows before Wine?

Hi.  Unfortunately, no (sorry). My PC has been Linux-only for a few years now.
It was dual-boot for a while, but I got tired of XP not booting / BSOD-ing /
nuking my hard-drive...  I do, however, have a second (older) PC, which I
rarely use. 
It should be powerful enough to run XP, so I'm thinking of installing XP on it
(and then trying Git there). That should give some useful info in the
Git-on-Windows area.

Feel free to reopen this bug once confirmed that under Windows the MSYS
port works as expected.
