[Pkg-zsh-devel] Bug#780852: zsh: vcs-info produces errors for git rebase -m

[brian m. carlson]

Package: zsh-common
Version: 5.0.7-5
Severity: normal

When rebasing using git rebase -m from git 1:2.1.4+next.20141218-2 in
experimental, vcs-info causes complaints in the shell immediately before
the prompt:

  VCS_INFO_get_data_git:208: no such file or directory: .git/rebase-merge/done
  bmc at vauxhall:~/checkouts/git(object-id-part1-pu)

It also does not indicate that I'm in rebase mode at all, which you can
notice by the lack of a pipe in the parenthesized portion of my prompt.
When I apply the patch from commit
57be7b743fbd7afb86edaac3ac86ef34182f86b9 upstream, I get a different
error instead:

  grep: .git/rebase-merge/git-rebase-todo: No such file or directory
  bmc at vauxhall:~/checkouts/git(object-id-part1-pu|rebase-m)

Notice, however, that it does indicate that I'm in rebase -m mode, which
is an improvement.

If you need to see my prompt script for some reason, it's available at
https://github.com/bk2204/homedir/blob/master/.zsh/prompt_bmc_setup.

Since I expect you'll work with upstream to fix this, please consider
moving the affected if/then block into a function and then calling that
function, since it would allow me to temporarily disable that in my
shell config until it's patched.
