Git flow init pauses with no output

[calvertdw]

When I use the commands below I would expect to be able to initialize each repository to git flow one by one using the w 1 option. However, nothing ever prints out and the process pauses forever.

~/dev $ vcs import < robots.repos
~/dev $ vcs custom -w 1 robots --args flow init

My .repos file is structured like:

repositories:
  robots/project-1:
    type: git
    url: https://path.git
    version: master
  robots/project-2:
    type: git
    url: https://path.git
    version: develop

Upon keyboard interruption:

~/dev $ vcs custom -w 1 robots --args flow init
Traceback (most recent call last):

    self.not_empty.wait()

Using vcs 0.1.36 and git version 2.20.1.windows.1.

The command git flow init is interactive by default but vcstool doesn't support passing through stdin at the moment and only outputs the process output after the process has finished (e.g. since it supports suppressing the output depending on the options).

The only workaround at the moment is to invoke the custom command in a way that it becomes non-interactive, e.g. vcs custom -w 1 robots --args flow init -d.

Supporting interactive commands would certainly be an option (when processing repos sequentially) but that would be a major feature development.

Defaults work for me! Did not know about the -d argument. I searched for a while, but just now found some documentation on the arguments.
