Bug report: git add . -p Argument list too long

2014-03-31 Thread Dieter Komendera 
Hi there,

since a while when I want to stage diffs in one of my big repos with git add . 
-p” I get this error:

Can't exec git: Argument list too long at 
/usr/local/Cellar/git/1.9.1/libexec/git-core/git-add--interactive line 180.
Died at /usr/local/Cellar/git/1.9.1/libexec/git-core/git-add--interactive line 
180.

Mac OS X 10.9.2
git 1.9.1 (installed via homebrew)

I’ve also tried the latest versions of the 1.7 and 1.8 branches which also 
yielded the same error in that repo.
git add . -p works fine in other (smaller) repos. Unfortunately I’m not able to 
share this private repo.

I found this rather old posting in the mailing list archive, unfortunately the 
link to the quick and easy fix” looks dead:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/142863/match=argument+list+too+long+git+add

Anybody can help?

Thanks,
Dieter
