Do you have git-format-patch's manpage, i.e. does
man git-format-patch
work? On bash, what happens on:
$ man -P cat git-format-patch | grep -q -e --notes
$ echo ${PIPESTATUS[@]}
Does
strace -f -o /tmp/lala man -P cat git-format-patch | grep -q -e --notes
give any insights (e.g. where does the 141 come from?)
Best regards
