Subject: Git --file doesn't override $HOME in version 1.8.1.2
Date: Tue, 9 Jul 2013 11:05:46 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <C8A88C530F38AE47B22BDC434090CBB0ED26E0@IT-EXMB01-HKI.it.local> (raw)
Using Ubuntu 13.04 with Git 1.8.1.2 I stumbled upon a problem using Puppet.
In Puppet we launch Git with the command: '/usr/bin/git config --file /home/qt/.gitconfig --get "user.name" "Qt Continuous Integration System"'
However, puppet logs: "fatal: unable to access '/root/.config/git/config': Permission denied".
Puppet is run as root, so HOME points to /root, but still -file should override the environment variable.
If the same command is run directly from terminal as root, it works as well.
With 1.8.3.2 the problem didn't reoccur.
