gitk can't parse git log output: { }

+1 vote
433 views

In my local clone of git.git, currently with the v1.8.4-rc2 tag checked out and built (and installed on the system), starting up gitk yields an empty window, with a dialog in front of it:

 error    
 Can't parse git log output: { }

Has anyone else seen this, and know what might have happened? I do not get the behavior in other repositories (including other clones of git.git), only this particular one.

Have you tried moving away .git/gitk.cache? If that fixes it, perhaps you can share it for inspection.

Yes, I did, just after I sent off that email. It did not fix the problem, however.

GIT argument parsing...Parse --o in format-patch

I don't quite manage to figure out gits argv parsing and would need some help on the way.

I want:
git format-patch -o outdir HEAD~

Work exactly the way it does now, setting output_directory to outdir. But I also want
git format-patch -o HEAD~

to set output_directory with a NULL value so that I can assign a default value to it. Is that even possible with the current argv-parsing implementation?

The currect argv parser is using OPTION_CALLBACK so I thought that that callback should be able to determine if there was an outdir supplied or not.

Or is the correct solution to also add a bolean type OPTION_BOOLEAN for -o?

Why can't I push from a shallow clone in Git

I've been trying to figure out why I can't push from a shallow clone (using --depth) to a repository. I've made simple examples where it works, but I've read that in doesn't work in every case.

but I don't completely understand the explanation,Please explain.
