Issue 124: ANSI control chars displayed in console
http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/issues/detail?id=124
New issue report by sschuberth:
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. In a non-up-to-date local repository, issue a "git fetch".
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
An example output I get is as follows:
$ git fetch
remote: Generating pack...←[K
remote: Done counting 208 objects.←[K
remote: Result has 91 objects.←[K
remote: Deltifying 91 objects...←[K
remote: 100% (91/91) done←[K1) done←[K
remote: Total 91 (delta 63), reused 9 (delta 8)←[K
Unpacking objects: 100% (91/91), done.
As you can see, several "←[K" ANSI sequences are displayed at the end of
the lines.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
$ git --version
git version 1.5.6.1062.g7b17c
Please provide any additional information below.
The problem is that the MSYS Bash console does not provide ANSI emulation
like available under Linux. Either ANSI should be disabled for msysgit, or
msysgit should be bundled with an ANSI driver (not a trivial task; I tried
to look into this), or "git fetch" should have built-in support for colored
console output under Windows like "git diff --stat" now has.
