Summary: Issues running with msysgit

Initial Comment:
I am trying to run gitslave version 2.0.1 with git version 1.7.7.1msysgit.0.

I ran into two different errors.

First when running gits prepare, I received "There is no -K option ("less --help" for help)".  To resolve this, I commented out line 885.

Second when attempting to clone a super project, I received "Bad line 1 in /C/WorkAreas/SCM3/.gitslave".  To resolve this, I changed the regular expression on line 376.  As this same expression is used on line 1096, I changed it as well.

I have attached my new gits file.

Thanks for the information.  I have updated the gitslave git repository to
support the msys version of perl.

To answer what I believe was your final question, I attempted to install
via 'make install'.

I did not have a make installed on my PC so installed
http://www.gnu.org/software/make/.

I added the path to my bash profile and ran 'make install' and received the
following error:

$ make install
pod2man < gits > gits.1
"C:/Program Files/Git/bin/sh.exe": pod2man: command not found
make: *** [gits.1] Error 127

Message:
I am still getting the '-K ' error.  I added this line at 1274:

	  die $^O if 1;

and it outputs:

msys at /h/bin/gits line 1274.

So I change line 1272 to:

  if ($^O ne "MSWin32" && $^O ne "cygwin" && $^O ne "msys")

and it seems to work.

Message:
You asked a couple of questions regarding my Perl installation.

Command: perl -v

Prints: This is perl, v5.8.8 built for msys

Command: perl -e 'print "$^O\n";'

Prints: msys

Thank you for your quick response.  I will test and respond more fully
Monday and answer your questions.

But to answer one now, I am fairly new to Git.  I don't know what the
conventions are to install something like gitslave and I didn't see any
instructions for installation in the documentation.

So I just copied the 'gits' file into a folder in my path and it seems to
be working so far (other than the two issues reported here).

If you would like me to try an automated install, I would be happy to test
it for you if you provide instructions.

Message:
A commit was pushed to the gitslave repository which should fix both of
your problems.  Please report back with the success or failure. 
Additionally, I'd still like to know if you were able to install gitslave
using `make install` or whether you did it by hand.

Thanks,

Message:
Thank you for your bug report.  The problem turns out to be the line ending
in the .gitslave file.  It is not handling the DOS line ending carriage
return properly.  Git must be in DOS line ending mode and adjusted the file
for our convenience.

What version of perl are you using?  `perl -v` might say.

What does the following command print?  `perl -e 'print "$^O\n";'`

Did you have to install gitslave by hand?

Message:
I uploaded the .gitslave file so you can see that it was properly formatted
and should not have generated an error.
