From a53814cab6bf86035fc515fd92e89cf678df9240 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Derrick Stolee Date: Thu, 23 Sep 2021 09:59:06 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] sequencer: avoid progress when stderr is redirected During a run of the Scalar functional tests, we hit a case where the inexact rename detection of a 'git cherry-pick' command slowed to the point of writing its delayed progress, failing the test because stderr differed from the control case. Showing progress like this when stderr is not a terminal is non-standard for Git, so inject an isatty(2) when initializing the progress option in sequencer.c. Unfortunately, there is no '--quiet' option in 'git cherry-pick' currently wired up. This could be considered in the future, and the isatty(2) could be moved to that position. This would also be needed for commands like 'git rebase', so we leave that for another time.
