Subject: emacs 24.3.91: magit error
Date: Mon, 19 May 2014 10:28:14 -0400

Hi. Just in case it helps: 

- testing  24.3.91.1 on Ubuntu 12.10

  - After starting emacs -Q
  - loading a file under git (emacs in this case)
  - emacs gives the following error:

    > apply: Args out of range: #("Git@" 0 4 (help-echo "Locally added
    > file under the Git version control system")), 0, 7

  - I have installed magit by hand rather than via marmelade, but I
    think it should not matter if I started emacs with the option -Q?

I am not very experienced in testing emacs version but I learn (this
is my second bug report), let me know if I can help by running more
tests. Cheers,
--

Thanks for the report, but magit is not part of Emacs.
I think your first port of call should be to whoever maintains magit.
They can followup here if it turns out to be a bug in Emacs.

Oh sorry, I did not read properly.
Yes, if you are starting Emacs via -Q, magit should not be involved.

Anyway, can you do the following:

1. M-x toggle-debug-on-error

repeat the problem, and post the backtrace.

Also include the information from M-x report-emacs-bug.


2. Try and find a minimum recipe to reproduce the problem.
It did not happen for me. Ideally, the recipe would be self-contained,
starting from a brand new git repo.
Does it happen with every git repo, or just one?

Hi Glenn.

Glenn> Hello, still waiting for more information on this issue...
Glenn> http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=17527#14

Sorry for the delay: I was busy with academic deadlines.

After further experimentation, I think the problem does come from
magit and not from emacs itself:

- I installed and compiled GNU Emacs 24.3.92.1 from the git repository:

  - No error is generated when 
    - starting with emacs -q and emacs -Q without loading any file.

  - The error is generated when
    - starting with emacs (and my .emacs file) without loading any file, OR
    - starting with emacs -q and emacs -Q loading a file under git control.

- It is distinct from https://github.com/magit/magit/issues/1274

  - I don't have any Makefile inside any .git folder.
  - I will contact the magit team if the bug persists after I am done
    refactoring my .emacs configuration into .emacs.d and adapting it
    to the latest version of emacs.

Sorry if I wasted your time on this :(
