sbt-git v2.0.1 disables all ouput from git commands to sbt logs

[seigert]

Steps to reproduce:

$ (~) > mkdir sbt-git-test && cd sbt-git-test 

$ (~/sbt-git-test ) > git init
Initialized empty Git repository in ~/junk/.git/

$ (~/sbt-git-test ) > mkdir project

$ (~/sbt-git-test ) > echo "sbt.version = 1.8.2" > project/build.properties

$ (~/sbt-git-test ) > echo 'addSbtPlugin("com.github.sbt" % "sbt-git" % "2.0.0")' > project/plugins.sbt

$ (~/sbt-git-test ) > sbt

As you can see, running git commands from SBT w/o any visual cconfirmation is very inconvenient...

Confirmed. I've been experiencing this too. I wonder if this has to do with I/O work within sbt in some version after sbt 1.5 ? This same lack of output from git commands happens for me with any sbt 1.9 version

[rayrobdod]

sbt-git 2.0.0 on sbt 1.9.7 will produce output, while sbt-git 2.0.1 on sbt 1.9.7 will not produce output. Which leads me to think that io work within sbt is not relevant. I want to blame #219 , but even sbt --debug git status will not produce output, and it should if the only change was that the git command log output was changed from info to debug.

@rayrobdod - If that's the case then it should be pretty simple to track down the change producing no output: compare 2.0.0 with 2.0.1. I'm going to do this shortly and see if I can find a solution just on visual inspection of the delta.

I've tested that assertion about sbt 1.9.7 with 2.0.0 producing output and 2.0.1 not producing output. That assertion doesn't hold for me. Neither 2.0.0 nor 2.0.1 produced output with sbt 1.97 in my project.

That was a mistake. I had a build error that was still pulling in 2.0.1. I can confirm now that 2.0.0 does produce output.
