Error on trying to use git shortlog summary #118

I cannot reproduce this. Are you using the latest version? In my vimcat line 80 is a blank line. If you are using the latest version, are you willing to do some debugging? First I need your system specs, what is the OS, version and shell you are on. |

I think I see the problem, your shell must be a variant of ash and it does not have the same array support as bash and ksh likes. I'll try to fix this. |

Ok, first off, I don't see this problem on my home computer where I'm running Ubuntu 14.04. I only saw it on my work computer where I have Ubuntu 12.04.
I'm not sure actually. I have definitely not updated since the day I cloned vimpager, so it could very well be an older version.
Great if you have a handle on this; but I'll be more than happy to do some debugging if needed. But that's possible only on weekdays though. |
Somehow vimcat runs under dash for someone, and this breaks because of the array syntax for $@ . Remove the array syntax for $@ because it is completely unnecessary and $@ behaves like an array in all bourne shells as it is. Also do a couple of other minor cleanups, and rebuild vimpager.
Instead of exiting with an error if a better shell is not found, set _MY_SHELL to $SHELL or /bin/sh and continue. This should usually work since we removed the array syntax.

Try updating your clone, the issue should be fixed. |

Yup. Update + another |
I get the following error when trying to do
git shortlog --summary --numberedon any of my repos:The problem is when using the
--summaryargument (without that argument, things work as expected).As a workaround, I'm using
PAGER=/usr/bin/less git shortlog --summary --numberedThe text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
