git reset command in sync uses non-existent -q option

Reported by Dermot Brennan | June 8th, 2008 @ 09:30 AM

When deploying with git and cached-copy, the command executed uses:

git reset -q --hard 555...555

which gives error:

Usage: /usr/bin/git-reset [--mixed | --soft | --hard] [] [ [--] ...]

git.rb

execute << "#{git} fetch #{verbose} #{remote} && #{git} reset #{verbose} --hard #{revision}"

should be just:

execute << "#{git} fetch #{verbose} #{remote} && #{git} reset --hard #{revision}"

Tested with 2.3.101

    The -q switch exists in git 1.5.5.3, at least. If you're using an older version of git, the solution is to just do:

    set :scm_verbose, true

    Or, upgrade to a newer git. :)

    here's the commit in git itself where -q was added to git-reset, in case you're curious:

    I get the same error, even though my git version is 1.5.6.3, the most recent one to date. There exist no other versions of git from previous installations, etc.
