Subject: 23.0.60; vc-annotate-revision-previous-to-line fails on git
Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2009 20:01:06 -0800

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Place the following into a file, make it executable, and run it:

    #!/bin/bash

    d=$(mktemp -d)
    cd $d
    git init

    for i in $(seq 4)
    do echo $i > i
        git add i
        git commit -m $i
    done

    cat<<EOF > bug.el
    (find-file "i")
    (message "vc-handled-backends: %s" vc-handled-backends)
    (call-interactively 'vc-annotate)
    (call-interactively 'vc-annotate-revision-previous-to-line)
    EOF

    emacs --no-site-file --batch -l bug.el

The output I see is

The bug is the failure in the last line.

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/local/src/emacs-with-my-tweaks.git/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

This is because vc-git-previous-revision calls vc-git-symbolic-commit
which runs:
git name-rev --name-only --tags COMMIT
which returns "undefined"
running just:
git name-rev --name-only COMMIT
seems to be better in this particular case.  No idea if that's TRTD
though...
