Hi,
I am using git shell aliases in config and was facing some weird
error. The error is not reproducible in all runs and occurs randomly
between runs...consider the minimal config(alias section) below for
usage idea:
[alias]
A = "!f(){ \
( \
// implementation
git \"$1\"; \
) 250<dir/tmp; \
}; f"
B = "!f(){ \
ssh <server> <command>; \
}; f"
C= "!f(){ \
git A B; \
}; f"
when firing "git C" from shell,in some cases(not deterministically reproducible)
i observed weird waitpid errors of the type :
error: waitpid for f(){ ssh <server> <command>; }; f
failed: No child processes
fatal: while expanding alias 'B': 'f(){ ssh <server> <command>;
}; f': No child processes
error: waitpid for f(){ (//implementation; git "$1"; )250<dir/tmp;
}; f failed: No child processes
fatal: while expanding alias 'A': 'f(){ (//implementation; git
"$1"; )250<dir/tmp; }; f': No child processes
error: waitpid for f(){ git A B; }; f failed: No child processes
fatal: while expanding alias 'C': 'f(){ git A B; }; f': No
child processes
can anyone please help as to what could possibly be the reason for this?
Thanks,
Shubham

Could you tell us what OS and version of Git you're running, and what
shell /bin/sh is? I could imagine that there might be some weirdness on
Windows with the shell, but I would find an ECHILD to be surprising on
Unix.
