Description & Comments: | |||
When doing "fossil commit" or "fossil update" in the MSYS-bash, after I enter the password, there will be no respond (no screen output, not committed or updated, fossil seems to be still waiting for the password).
I can enter password for other tools (svn, plink, etc.) in the MSYS-bash without any problem. With the older version of fossil, this problem remains. And there will be no such problem if I use "cmd" or the bash shell on Linux. anonymous claiming to be RBerteig added on 2010-03-09 00:07:42: If your installed version of MSYS is new enough, you can just edit the shortcut to add -norxvt to the command line. If not, rename rxvt.exe to xxx-rxvt.exe so that MSSY.bat can't find it. Either way, it will launch bash with the standard Windows console and many things will work better. More information can be found by searching the archives of the MinGW mailing list for email mentioning problems with rxvt. |
