git plugin on OS X: gwip results in "xargs: illegaloption --r"

[jbisotti]

Using the git plugin on OS X (Mavericks) and invoking gwip results in the following:

xargs: illegal option -- r
usage: xargs [-0opt] [-E eofstr] [-I replstr [-R replacements]] [-J replstr]
             [-L number] [-n number [-x]] [-P maxprocs] [-s size]
             [utility [argument ...]]

Seems to work though.

Hi, thanks for reporting.

This is a duplicate of #2692 and #2713, and should be fixed in #2790. If you want a fix rightaway, fetch my fork and cherry-pick a6c6bce.

Sorry for the duplicate. Initially, I just looked through the labelled issues & didn't see it so I opened this one. After opening I noticed there were a bunch that were not labeled so I started going through them. By the time I came across the git umbrella issue you had already referenced this one there. That was fast!

I'll close this one to get it out of the way.

Thanks for your understanding. As you can see, we have a gazillion issues open, and I know that searching through them is not easy.

Do not hesitate to contribute again — if you have improvements for the git plugin, please submit a PR to my branch.

Im happy to inform that this issue is going to celebrate anniversary.

Not if #2790 gets merged before May 15.
