Doing a simple command like
git config -e
just hangs the terminal. I can break out or suspend the process, but
in both cases it, the git that I though I was executing is terminated
and the git underneath remains, leaving a sh process executing a vim
process. I.e. what the process tree looks like:
bash -- my current shell
\_ bash -- ?? executed when executing git command
\_ git -- the git that I thought I invoked
\_ git -- ?? git invoked another git
\_ sh -- git invoking sh to invoke vim
\_ vim -- finally, the actual vim process
after I do a Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Z I get:
bash -- my current shell
git -- ?? git invoked another git
\_ sh -- git invoking sh to invoke vim
\_ vim -- finally, the actual vim process
Switching the editor to nano I get:
bash -- my current shell
\_ bash -- ?? executed when executing git command
\_ git -- the git that I thought I invoked
\_ git -- ?? git invoked another git
\_ nano -- git invoked nano directly
If I were to suspend the editor, they say:
Use "fg" to return to nano
Received SIGHUP or SIGTERM
error: There was a problem with the editor 'nano -z'.
Can someone confirm that this is a bug?
If I use gvim as my editor, it executes gvim and returns right away,
not waiting for gvim to terminate. This appears to be another bug.
Thanks,
A
