That's strange. I think that the only time we use that option is when running
git -C . rev-parse --git-dir
The -C
option seems to have been supported by git
since very old versions. So my suspicion is that the thing that is getting run is not standard git
itself but rather some wrapper script or something that doesn't handle that option.
Which version of git-sizer
are you using?
What happens if you type which -a git
in the repository directory? What version of Git does it find? Is it possibly a script or something that doesn't pass all arguments through? What happens if you run the above rev-parse
command in the repository directory?
If none of those steps gives a clue, another possibility would be to run git-sizer
under strace
to see exactly what command execution is provoking the problem.
The output of which -a git
is /usr/bin/git
and version is git version 1.8.3.1
. The version of git-sizer
is git-sizer build v1.4.0
.
I have run strace
, I have only found epoll_pwait(4, error: couldn't open Git repository: git rev-parse failed: Unknown option: -C
, I can show you the full output of strace
if needed.
Thanks for the additional info.

Make sure that you run strace
with the -f
option, in which case you should see an execve
line something like
18575 execve("/usr/bin/git", ["/usr/bin/git", "-C", ".", "rev-parse", "--git-dir"], 0xc0000d8280 /* 73 vars */ <unfinished ...>
If I run that command in a non-bare repository directory, it succeeds like this:
$ /usr/bin/git -C . rev-parse --git-dir
.git
If I run that command in a bare repository directory, it succeeds like this:
$ /usr/bin/git -C . rev-parse --git-dir
.
Does the same command appear in the strace
output for you? If so, what happens when you run it?
It's probably worth trying a more modern version of git. The version that you are using is from 2013. The current version is 2.32. But it would still be helpful if you would help diagnose this problem; maybe it's not version related and/or maybe it would be easy to get it working with older versions of git.
Please reopen this issue if you gather more information.
I am in a folder containing my git repository and when run git-sizer I get the error in the subject. compiled with make on Linux_x86_64
