From bf7b0e0358bc79141abdd4d974270fbc6bfcba27 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefano Lattarini Date: Fri, 15 Feb 2013 14:39:39 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] maint: don't reset PATH in the commit-msg git hook I have a custom 'editor' script in ~/bin, and a system-provided 'editor' program in /usr/bin (on Debian, this is a link set up the "debian alternatives" subsystem). My '$EDITOR' and '$GIT_EDITOR' variables are set simply to 'editor' (no absolute path), which I expect should point to my 'editor' script, since ~/bin precedes /usr/bin in my PATH definition. But the 'commit-msg' hook used in coreutils unconditionally resets its PATH to '/bin:/usr/bin', which causes it to call the "wrong" editor (the one in /usr/bin, not the one in ~/bin) when it makes me update a botched commit message. * scripts/git-hooks: Don't reset $ENV{PATH} to '/bin:/usr/bin', which was only done to avoid failure when enabling Perl's taint checking. --- scripts/git-hooks/commit-msg | 1 - 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/scripts/git-hooks/commit-msg b/scripts/git-hooks/commit-msg index 3e91e8ea4..7a1148949 100755 --- a/scripts/git-hooks/commit-msg +++ b/scripts/git-hooks/commit-msg @@ -7,7 +7,6 @@ use warnings; (my $ME = $0) =~ s|.*/||; my $editor = $ENV{EDITOR} || 'vi'; -$ENV{PATH} = '/bin:/usr/bin'; # Keywords allowed before the colon on the first line of a commit message: # program names and a few general category names. -- 2.11.4.GIT
