Description Luc Pi 2014-03-13 14:08:37 UTC 
with meld 1.8.1,

I am trying to look at a folder under git, containing local changes ('meld .')

But meld show no changes. In the console it throws:

Traceback (most recent call last):

+ Trace 233323

  • File "/usr/lib/meld/meld/task.py", line 112 in iteration 
    ret = next(task)

Could you provide some more details here please? It's pretty hard to do anything with only the traceback, because this could be just about anything. If you're in a position to attach the repository that causes this, that would be great, but any details at all would help. In particular, the output of:

    git diff-index --cached HEAD .
    git diff-files -0 .

in the repository may be useful.

Also, could you please try with current stable Meld (1.8.4) as there was at least one git crasher fixed in the 1.8.x series.

I tend to think that this is a duplicate of Bug 710780,
as the trace (Trace 233323) suggests

(I just discovered this new 'trace' feature of bugzilla)

To reproduce:

mkdir /tmp/meld-test
cd /tmp/meld-test/
git init
touch foo
git add .
git commit -a -m "foo"
touch bar
ln -sf bar foo
git status --short
meld .

Yup. I've just checked and this was fixed in 1.8.3. Thanks anyway.
