Subject: [BUG] [PATCH]: run-command.c
Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2016 16:50:13 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161021055013.GA31554@dimstar.local.net> (raw)

prepare_shell_cmd() executes /bin/sh with superfluous arguments on all but
single-word shell commands.

For example, if .git/config has this alias (the sleep is to leave time to
examine output from ps, &c.):

[alias]
	tryme = "!echo $PWD;sleep 600"

running "git tryme" in one console and checking what it does in another

--- 1st xterm

16:42:12$ git tryme
/usr/src/git/.git
echo $PWD;sleep 600: line 1:  2602 Terminated              sleep 600
16:43:15$


--- 2nd xterm

16:42:06$ ps axf|grep -A2 trym[e]
 2599 pts/4    S+     0:00      \_ git tryme
 2601 pts/4    S+     0:00          \_ /bin/sh -c echo $PWD;sleep 600 echo $PWD;sleep 600
 2602 pts/4    S+     0:00              \_ sleep 600
16:42:45$ cat /proc/2601/cmdline | xargs -0 -n1 echo
/bin/sh
-c
echo $PWD;sleep 600
echo $PWD;sleep 600
16:43:04$ kill 2602
16:43:15$

There is an extra "-c" argument. This is caused by a missing "else", fixed by
the appended patch,

Cheers ... Duncan.
