... but: 1) some Git commands are shell-scripts, on which you can't use gdb. 2) some Git commands fork other commands, and then you have to deal with multiple processes (i.e. putting a breakpoint in a piece of code executed by the subprocess won't work if gdb is running on the other one). -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
