Aliased git commands not working.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Try 'git status'
$ git status
(output...)

Create an alias for 'status'
$ git config alias.stat status

Try alias
$ git stat
fatal: cannot exec 'git-stat': Operation not permitted

OS X 10.5.8
git 1.7.0.6

Downgrading to 1.6.6.2 resolved the issue.

That is so weird... I use tons of aliases. Will look into it

Using 1.7.0.6.  I just followed your instructions and cannot reproduce it :S

I just pushed out a build of 1.7.1.  Can you see if it happens with that 
version as well?

Thanks,

Tim

I have the same problem using git 1.7.0.4-1 on Ubuntu 10.04

$ git config --get alias.st
status

$ git st
fatal: cannot exec 'git-st': Permission denied

OK, I found what was causing this from the #git irc logs:
http://colabti.org/irclogger/irclogger_log/git?date=2010-02-19#l2095

Basically, I had /root/bin in my path and didn't have permissions for that 
directory.

Interestingly, this was not a problem with git 1.6.3, but it was with 1.7.0 and 
1.7.1.

I don't have strace installed, so the check mentioned in the IRC logs doesn't 
work for me. I can do an 'ls -ld' though, so I wrote this quick 1-liner to find 
invalid items in my PATH.

$ echo $PATH |tr ':' '\n' |xargs ls -ld

One of my invalid items is actually an NFS mounted directory that I don't have 
permission to access because I have not authenticated via Kerberos to the 
corporate NFS server. Removing that one item from the PATH fixes the issue, and 
'git stat' (my alias for status) now works.

FYI, I'm on 1.7.1 now.

Glad that you got things working again

Another workaround is to add the $GIT_HOME and relevant $PATH entry before 
adding any other one. Like this:

export GIT_HOME=/path/to/git
export PATH=$GIT_HOME/bin:$PATH
....
export OTHER_ENTRY
export PATH=$OTHER_ENTRY/bin:$PATH

Thanks @nabeelalimemom, that trick helped me solve the issue.
