Public bug reported: I get the following error when running interactive git mergebase:
/usr/lib/git-core/git-rebase--interactive: 1: arithmetic expression: expecting ')': "(standard input):1+(standard input):2" I'm sure that's because I've GREP_OPTIONS environment variable exported, and contain the value: "-nHI --exclude=\*.svn-base". Thus grep results obtained by "/usr/lib/git-core/git-rebase--interactive" script differs from standard grep output. The solution would be that /usr/lib/git-core /git-rebase--interactive should always invoke grep as: "GREP_OPTIONS= grep" Description: Ubuntu 9.04 Release: 9.04 git-core: Installed: 1:1.6.0.4-1ubuntu2 Candidate: 1:1.6.0.4-1ubuntu2 Version table: *** 1:1.6.0.4-1ubuntu2 0 500 http://in.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: git-core (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: git -- GREP_OPTIONS variable hinders interactive git-rebase functionality https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/398393 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
