xargs -r invalid on OSX

[ryan-mars]

The alias in the git plugin uses the -r flag for xargs. This is invalid on OSX.
gwip='git add -A; git ls-files --deleted -z | xargs -r0 git rm; git commit -m "--wip--"'

Confirmed here.

Mac OSX uses the BSD-flavored xargs, which runs with the -r flag implied. However (and, it seems, contrary to the FreeBSD version), the -r flag will return an error on Mac OSX.

So simple fix is:

XARGS_OPTS=
&>/dev/null xargs -r && XARGS_OPTS+="-r"
alias gwip="git add -A; git ls-files --deleted -z | xargs ${XARGS_OPTS} -0 git rm; git commit -m \"--wip--\""

@robbyrussell should I submit a PR?

This is the second time this bites someone, so I submitted #2714. Please test it if you have time.

Effectively solved and ready to close once #2790 is merged. Just leaving this comment to update the issue and get it out of the way to triage the rest...

Looks like this was fixed by #2790. I don't see any remaining xargs -r uses in the repo. Could you confirm if this is fixed for you, and if so, close this issue?

[ncanceill]

Indeed this should be fixed now.
