Git version is required to be 1.8.5 or above #76
Description
Currently, the software requires git version 1.8.5 or above. This is important as CentOS does not currently have a compatible version.
The issue is caused by the -C option which is used by report.php:
Line 19:
$rev = exec('git -C ' . escapeshellarg( $WPT_PREPARE_DIR ) . ' log -1 --pretty=%B | grep "git-svn-id:" | cut -d " " -f 2 | cut -d "@" -f 2');
Line 22:
$message = trim( exec('git -C ' . escapeshellarg( $WPT_PREPARE_DIR ) . ' log -1 --pretty=%B | head -1') );
node-sass seems to use it as well, but those are the only places where I see it being used.
Regarding the specific versions, you can see that the -C option (not to be confused with the -c option) was not present in 1.8.4.5:
It is present in 1.8.5, and versions after:
CentOS 7 (I am testing on 7.5.1804) has git version 1.8.3.1. However, I am also testing on a cPanel server, and when run using cPanel's git version, it is 2.19.1, which works fine.
I would recommend either adding the version to the software requirements, or perhaps looking at potentially removing the -C option if possible.
