git log --pretty=format:%h prints (unrequired) abbreviated sha

git log --pretty=format:%h prints (unrequired) abbreviated sha

[Marco Costalba]

Perhaps is a dumb question, but for me is very new.

I have download and installed msysgit:

git version 1.6.4.msysgit.0

and now

git log --pretty=format:%h

prints a list of abbreviated (7 chars) SHA instead of the full 40
chars as I want.

I didn't change anything in git config and I am not able to restore
the original (correct) behaviour.

Could someone please help me on this ?

Thanks
Marco

Sorry, the correct command is:

git log --pretty=format:%H

but output is still abbreviated.

Doesn't happen here. %h produces abbreviated SHA1s and %H full SHA1s.
However, I don't run msysgit, but compile git myself. I run the commands
from CMD.

What (old) version of msgit do you suggest me to try to verify if it
is a new problem ?

BTW gitk does not work correctly. It loads the revisions but doesn't
show the diffs.

Also installing an old version I have the same wrong behaviour and the
same version works on another PC and with the same repository I am
testing with.

So I am thinking to some setup somewhere that makes git to use
abbreviated commits instead of full names. Does exist something like
this ?

Thanks

Here it is very strange. The problem is that git shell is no more case
sensitive.

I have tried git commit -F ...

and I got error:unkown switch 'f'


So somehow the problem is that all the commands are lowercased, and
this explains why pretty format %H is interpreted as %h so that sha
abbreviated form is used.

Now the question is: how to restore normal case sensitive command parsing ?

Thanks
Marco

P.S: Please, at least answer this last question ;-)

I cannot.

Please try calling the commands from CMD. To do that in a regular msysgit
installation where you did not choose the option to set the PATH, it
should be sufficient to point your PATH to
<installdir>\git\bin;<installdir>\bin;%PATH% (although I'm not sure about
the exact paths - as I said, I don't install msysgit). Does that work?

No it doesn't.

I had already C:\Program Files\Git\cmd in path, probably added by
msysgit installation.

The point of the exercise is to not use the git.cmd wrapper. I.e. point
your path not into C:\Program Files\Git\cmd, but into the bin directories
so that you run git.exe, not git.cmd.

Now path is C:\Program Files\Git\bin

I have even deleted the contents of cmd directory to be sure they were
not called.

But unfortunatly the problem persists.

Could you copy the git installation folder to another PC and see if the 
problem is still present? Or archive it and upload it on some file 
sharing service?

This is a good idea, thanks. I will copy the git folder to a working
PC and we will see....

I have copied the whole Git folder to another PC with windows xp.

I have moved the Git directory and all its subfolders under program
files instead of the old that I have renamed.

And everything worked as expected ! no problem and from git bash I
verified that the new copied version was running.

I really don't know what to think....

then check your PATH and the configuration files from your HOME folder 
(as recommended earlier).

I have uninstalled git, verified git folder was removed.

I have removed git/cmd from the PATH in Windows and I have removed the
following files from users/marco

.bash_history
.gitconfig
.gitk

I have reinstalled all and it still does not work. There are other
files in HOME that I need to remove ?

Hi Alexandrul,

Now it works !!!! :-)  :-)

It was a virus !  I have run Malwarebytes Anti-malware 1.41 and it
found some virus (I send you the logs in attachment), after removing
them the problem disappeared.

I have Kaspersky as antivirus, but, although a very good antivirus it
failed to identify them.

I didn't know this Malwarebytes, but it seems very powerful.

Thanks anyhow for your exceptional help, I have really appreciated that !!!!


Thanks again
Marco

You are welcome.

Unfortunately, Kaspersky and Malwarebytes target different threats, but 
both of them are very good at what they do.

If nothing else works, you could try to uninstall your current version 
of git, clean up any traces left, and reinstall.

Thanks, I have tried but with no success.

Another info is that it seems git related, from msysgit bash shell:

$ ls -a
. .. .git

$ ls -A
.git

$ git --version
git version 1.6.4.msysgit.0

$ git --VERSION
git version 1.6.4.msysgit.0

So only the git command seems to treat command line arguments in a
case-insensitive way, while other commands do not.
