Hi Neil, Notice how Fabric didn't print out anything prefixed with 'out' either, before returning control to your inspection code. That means that Git really did not spit out any stdout/err when you ran it (and that the repo on the "remote" end was not dirty). So that's the problem - not run()'s behavior.
As to why that might be, my guess is if you're really using run() and a host list of 'localhost', your home directory is another Git repo that is *not* dirty, and perhaps you were expecting it to end up in the repo you're running Fabric from (as if you'd used 'local()', for example). The default cwd of a run() call is usually the connecting user's home dir.
